This is my mom's recipe which people would pay her to make for their special occasions. We had it every holiday and some times in between. It is the only cheesecake my sister and I will make!

Graham Cracker Crust
1 1/4	cup	Graham Cracker Crumbs
3	tbsp	Sugar
1/3	cup	Melted Butter

• Put all ingredients into springform and mix together with a fork. then pat it down on bottom and up sides of springform as evenly as possible.

Cheesecake
1 1/2	lbs	Cream Cheese
1	tsp	Vanilla
1	cup	Sugar
4		Eggs

• Beat ingredients together and pour itno 9" springform pan that has been lined with graham cracker crust.
• Bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees
• Cool 20 minutes (or less but at least 20 minutes or more has worked better for me! The key is "somewhat cool"). Pour on top a mixture of 1 pint sour cream, 1/2 cup sugar and l tsp. vanilla. Put back in oven and bake for 10 minutes.
• The bottom part of the cheesecake should not brown. If it does the oven is probably too hot. The whole cake should appear white with a hint of yellow in the bottom part of the cake, It will be verrrry creamy, but should not separate or fall apart when you cut it. Keep refrigerated.
