3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened (I use butter)
all purpose flour
sugar
3 egg yolks
grated peel of 2 lemons**
5 8oz packages cream cheese
5 eggs
1/4 cup heavy or whipping cream (I use heavy)
1 tablespoon grated orange peel**
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup sour cream**

In bowl with mixer at low speed, beat butter, 1 1/4 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar,
1 egg yolk and half of lemon peel until dough is well mixed.
Refrigerate, covered, for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Press 1/3 of
dough into bottom of 10 inch springform pan. Bake 8 minutes; allow to cool.
Turn oven to 475 degrees F. In large bowl with mixer at medium speed, beat
cream cheese just until smooth; slowly beat in 1 3/4 cups sugar until smooth.
With mixer at low speed, beat in 3 Tablespoons flour and remaining ingredients
except sour cream. At high speed, beat 5 minutes.
Press rest of dough around side of springform pan to within 1 inch of top; do
not bake dough. Pour cheese mixture into pan; bake 12 minutes. Turn oven to 300
degrees F; bake 35 minutes. Turn off oven; leave in oven 30 minutes. Remove;
cool in pan on rack. ** Chill.
Remove side of pan. With large spatula, loosen cake from pan; slide onto
serving plate. Spread top of cheesecake with sour cream. **

** My notes...You can omit the lemon and orange peel gratings if you like. I do
sometimes, it is still wonderful.
After the cheesecake cools, before I chill it, I take a mixture of 1 cup sour
cream, 2 Tablespoons sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla, and spread it on top of the
cheesecake. I then return it into a 350 degree F oven for approx. 10 minutes
(just until the topping is set and ever so lightly browned) I prefer this to
just topping the cheesecake with plain sour cream as the recipe suggests.
