Good afternoon. Connie, I will post the dough crust recipe for you today. Tomorrow I will post the filling recipe. To much typing for my 1 finger typer.

LINDYS "NEW YORK CHEESECAKE"

DOUGH CRUST:
1 cup flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of lemon zest
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Combine the first 3 ingredients and mix and blend well, set aside.

Mix and blend well the next 3 ingredients. Mix into the dry ingredients. If need be add water to the concoction to make a viable dough mass.

Either wrap in wax paper or plastic wrap and chill for about 1 hour.

Portion enough of this mass to cover the bottom of baking pan. Roll out to 1/8-inch thick and place over the greased bottom of a 9 inch spring-form pan. Trim. Grease the pan sides and with balance fit in dough and blend in with your fingers.

Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. Cool. Fill with filling.
