Crust

1. Combine:
   • 2/3 c. graham cracker crumbs
   • 2 tbs. sugar
   • 2 tbs. melted butter
2. Press onto the bottom of a 7-inch spring form pan or 8-inch pie plate.

Filling

1. Beat well at medium speed:
   • 2 c. cream cheese
   • ½ c. sugar
   • 2 tbs. flour
   • ½ tsp. lemon juice
   • (Optional: ½ tsp. grated lemon rind)
2. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each.
   • 2 eggs
3. Pour mixture over crust.
4. Bake at 400°F for 10 min. Reduce temperature to 250°F and bake for an additional 30-60 min. (The batter is sometimes a little runny when made with homemade cream cheese. It will look more like a custard and will take longer to cook to a firm texture.)
5. Cool and run a knife alongside the edge before removing the rim of the spring form pan.
