Cheese Cake

by Betty Kirchhuber

3 packages cream cheese, 8 oz.
5 eggs
1 1/2 c. sugar
8 oz. sour cream
2 tsp. vanilla

Mix softened cheese and sugar. Add eggs one at a time. Add rest of ingredients. Set aside.

Make a crust for a springform pan. My favorite is a nut crust:

3/4 c. butter or margarine, softened
1 1/2 c. flour
2 Tb. sugar
1 1/2 c. finely chopped pecans

Mix together above ingredients until crumblike. Press into the bottom of the well greased springform pan. Bake at 375° for 25-30 min. or until lightly browned. Cool well. Pour filling into pan and sprinkle with a touch of cinnamon. Bake at 350° for 45 min. Cool at room
temperature. Then refrigerate.
