    1/4   c            Granulated sugar
    1/2   c            Butter -- softened
                       FILLING-----
  1       lb           Cream cheese
  1       c            Sour cream
  2       tb           Cornstarch
  1       c            Granulated sugar

 Preheat oven to 375 F. For crust combine crumbs, sugar
 and butter and mix well. Press firmly into 9" pie-pan
 covering bottom only. Bake for 8 min., or until the
 edges are slightly brown. Reduce oven to 350 F. For
 filling, combine cheese, sour cream, cornstarch, and
 sugar in bowl of mixer. Mix until sugar has disolved.
 Add the butter and vanilla and blend until smooth. Be
 careful not to overmix, or the filling will become too
 fluffy and will crack when cooling. Pour the filling
 over the crust. Bake for 30 to 35 min., or until knife
 inserted 1" from edge comes out clean. Cool 1 hr. For
 topping, mix sour cream and powdered sugar. Spread
 mixture over top of cooled cheesecake. Chill or freeze
 until ready to eat.
