My very favorite. The one I always requested for birthdays when I was growing up. And I can't believe I never shared it with y'all! Well, that is now remedied. Enjoy! Mom's New York Cheesecake Step 1: 1/2 cup butter, softened 1/4 cup sugar 1 egg yolk 1cup sifted flour 1/4 teaspoon lemon rind 1/4 teaspoon vanilla Make the crust: Preheat oven to 400°. Cream butter and sugar, add egg yolk. Then add other ingredients. Pat 1/3 of dough in bottom of springform pan. Cook for 6 minutes, cool completely. Meanwhile, raise oven temperature to 475°. Butter sides of pan and put remaining dough around the sides of the pan. Crust will only come up 1/3 of the sides of the pan.
