4 tb Butter; melted
CHEESECAKE
4 pk Cream cheese; (8 ounces

2 c Granulated sugar

In a small bowl, combine all Graham-Cracker Crust ingredients until
well mixed. Press evenly into bottom of a 10-inch springform pan.
Refrigerate. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. To prepare the filling, in
a large bowl, and using an electric mixer, cream the cheese. Add
sugar and mix well. Add egg yolks one at a time. Scrape down bowl and
mix again. Mix in sour cream and vanilla. In a separate bowl, beat
egg whites until stiff. Fold egg whites into cream-cheese mixture.
Pour into crust. (For best results, place pan in a roasting pan
half-filled with boiling water) Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or
until cake is golden brown and firm. Cool in the oven with the door
half open for 1 hour, then remove and refrigerate overnight.
