Basic Cheesecake
Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons butter or margerine, melted
- 4 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
Instructions
Heat oven to 350F. Mix crumbs, 3 tbsp. sugar, and butter. Press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Bake 10 minutes. Beat cream cheese, sugar, and flour at medium speed with mixer until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in sour cream and vanilla. Pour over prepared crust. Bake 1 hour and 10 minutes. Turn off oven and prop door open and let cheesecake sit in oven until oven has cooled. Lossen cake from rim of pan. Can be topped with fruits or whipped cream as desired. (I think it tastes best when refrigerated over night.)
