A Taste of Utica Lindy's Style Cheesecake Recipe
Similar to that old familiar New York Style cheesecake. The recipe was found in the book CNYEats A Taste of Utica. Now there are quite a few cheesecake recipes in that book and on the web and, by now, I've made quite a few. This recipe? This recipe is A NUMBER ONE! It really is the best. It's not difficult. It doesn't crack and, the reason I know it's the best? My husband said "Joanne. That cheesecake is THE BEST!"

- â 1 cup flour
- â 1/4 cup sugar

Directions
- Crust:
- Combine flour, sugar, lemon and vanilla in large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and add yolk and butter.

- Add sugar, flour, lemon and orange rinds, vanilla, and beat well. Add the eggs one at a time, beating lightly but thoroughly after each addition.
- Add cream, beat lightly, and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Butter the base of the sides of your spring form pan (8 or 9â) and remove top of pan.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out about 1/3 of the dough, 1/8â thick, fit over the bottom of pan and trim by running a rolling pin over edges.
- Bake 15 minutes until golden, let cool.
- Increase temperature to 550 F.
- Place top of spring form on pastry cooked/lined base.
- Roll remaining dough 1/8â thick, cut into strips and fit almost to the top of sides of the pan.
- Press so strips line sides completely.
- Fill pan with filling and bake 10 minutes, reduce heat to 200 F and continue baking 1 hour.
- To serve, loosen the pastry from sides, remove the top of pan and carefully cut into 12 wedges.
