Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar and 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour.

Pour 1 1/2 cups of water into a pie crust.

Sprinkle the sugar and flour mixture over the water without stirring.

Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the mixture.

Place the 4 tablespoons of butter on top of the mixture in the pie crust.

Bake in the preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for an additional 30 minutes.

Wrap the edges of the pie in aluminum foil to prevent burning during the last 30 minutes of baking.

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool.

Place the pie in the refrigerator to chill after it has cooled for a couple of hours.

After chilling overnight, cut a slice to serve.
