--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1 1/4   c            Graham cracker crumbs
  3       tb           Melted butter

 Crust:

 Combine and press in bottom and halfway up sides of
 springform pan

 Filling: 4 8 oz pkg cream cheese (softenend) 4 eggs 1
 1/4 cups sugar 1 Tbll lemon juice 2 tsp vanilla

 Beat cream cheese till soft.  Add sugar, eggs, lemon
 and vanilla. Spoon over crust. Bake at 350 for approx
 55 mins (sometimes I go up to 1 hr 10 mins) Remove
 from oven and let stand for 15 mins.  Keep oven on.

 Topping: 2 cups sour cream 1/4 cup sugar 1 tsp vanilla

 Combine in bowl and refrigerate while cake is baking

 After cake cools for the 15 mins, spoon topping over
 top and  return to oven for 5 mins. Let cool and
 refrigerate for AT LEAST 24 hours (this is VERY
 important) Can top w/fruit and glaze if desired.

 This goes together very fast and is an oft requested
 recipe.
