Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Prepare a regular pie crust and place it in a pie dish.

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

In a separate bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of flour and 1 cup of sugar until well combined.

Pour the flour and sugar mixture into the water in the pie crust without stirring.

Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the pie.

Randomly place 5 tablespoons of butter on top of the mixture in the pie.

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

After baking, remove the pie from the oven and observe that it is wobbly and has a lot of butter on top.

Pat the excess butter off the top of the pie with a paper towel.

Place the pie in the refrigerator to cool and hopefully solidify.

After cooling, check the consistency of the pie; it should be somewhat jiggly but held together.

Taste the pie and evaluate its flavor.
