 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       c            Flour -- cubed
    1/4   c            Sugar
  1       t            Grated lemon peel
    1/2   ts           Vanilla
  1                    Egg yolk
    1/4   c            Butter -- softened
                       Filling:
  5                    8 oz cream cheese - softened
  1 3/4   c            Sugar
  3       tb           Flour
  1 1/2   ts           Grated lemon peel
  1 1/2   ts           Grated orange peel
    1/4   ts           Vanilla
  5                    Eggs
  2                    Egg yolks
    1/4   c            Heavy cream
                       Frozen strawberries --
                       Thawed

 In medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, lemon peel and
 vanilla. Make well in center; add egg yolk and butter.
 Mix with fingertips until dough cleans side of bowl.
 Form into a ball and wrap in waxed paper. Refrigerate
 for one hour.

 Preheat oven to 400F. Grease the bottom and side of a
 9" springform pan. Remove the side from the pan. Roll
 one third of dough on bottom of springform pan; trim
 edge of dough. Bake 8 - 10 mins, or until golden.

 Meanwhile, divide dough into 3 parts. Roll each part
 into a 2 1/2" strip, 10" long. Put together springform
 pan, with the baked crust on the bottom. Fit dough
 strips to side of pan, joining ends to line inside
 completely. Trim dough so it comes only 3/4 of the way
 up side of pan. Refrigerate until ready to fill.

 Preheat oven to 500F. Make Filling: In a large bowl of
 electric mixer, combine cheese, sugar, flour, lemon
 and orange peel, and vanilla. Beat at high speed, just
 to blend. Beat in eggs and egg yolks, one at a time.
 Add cream, beating just until well combined. Pour
 mixture into springform pan. Bake 10 mins. Reduce
 temperature to 250F and bake 1 hour longer.

 Let cheesecake cool in wire rack. Glaze top with
 strawberries. Refrigerate 3 hours or overnight. To
 serve, loosen pastry from side of pan with spatula.
 Remove side of springform pan. Cut cheesecake into
 wedges.

 And, boy, is it good,
 Squeaks
