  When mixture will stick together, form into a ball. If it's too dry add one tablespoon of hot water at a time until moist but not sticky. If too moist do the same with flour. When the right consistency, divide in half, form ball into a disk, and roll out between two sheets of wax paper until the crust will fit a pie plate. Peal off one piece of the paper and flip over your plate, and peal off the remaining wax paper. Fill the pie shell and repeat the process for the second crust. Fold and crimp edge of crust. Slit top, add a few dabs of butter and then sprinkle sugar over the crust.
