Old Fashioned Girl , July 1, asked for a classic cheesecake recipe so here is the one I have used since 1973

Classic Cheesecake

12 graham crackers-rolled out
1/# butter
Blend will and push into an 8" spring form pan

In meantime blend:
1 large package of cream cheese
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Blend with mixer till light and fluffy-about 15 minutes. Pour into shell and bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or till middle sets (not longer than 30 minutes) You can tell it is done when it doesn't move. Remove from oven and let cool.

Topping:
1/2 pint of sour cream
4 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Blend with spoon until smooth. Pour over cheesecake-place in 450 degree oven for 5 minutes. Remove and place in fridge until cold.

This was given to me by Sarah in Milford, MI 1973----enjoy!
