Add 1/4 cup white sugar to a bowl.

Add 1/4 cup all-purpose flour to the bowl with sugar and whisk together.

Use a pre-made pie crust and place it in a pie dish.

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

Sprinkle the sugar and flour mixture on top of the water without stirring.

Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract around the top of the mixture.

Dot the top with 5 tablespoons of unsalted butter, allowing it to float on the surface.

Bake the pie at 400°F for 30 minutes.

Lower the temperature to 375°F and bake for another 30 minutes.

Check the pie after one hour; it should have a firm crust and a slight wobble in the filling.

Let the pie cool to room temperature for about 1 to 1.5 hours.

Refrigerate the pie for several hours to help it set.

After refrigeration, check that the filling has solidified and the crust is a lovely bronze color.

Slice the pie to reveal the soft center, which resembles a custard pie, and check that the bottom crust is not soggy.
