¼cupsugar
⅓cupsalted buttermelted (about 5 tablespoons)
Filling

14ouncessweetened condensed milk
1tablespoonlemon juice
1tablespoonvanilla extract
4eggs
2tablespoonsflour
Instructions
Crust
Combine crushed graham crackers, sugar, and butter until mixed well. Press into the bottom of a parchment lined 9 inch springform pan. I find that using the bottom of a flat glass works well to get the crust pressed in tightly.
Filling
In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until fluffier and increased in volume slightly, slowly pour in sweetened condensed milk while continuing to mix.
Beat in lemon juice and vanilla extract.
Reduce mixer speed to low and add eggs one at a time. Do not beat quickly as this will create air bubbles in the cheesecake mixture. Lastly, beat in flour.
Pour filling into springform pan and bake on center oven rack at 300 degrees for 70 - 75 minutes. Center should still wiggle slightly when cheesecake is finished. It will firm up as it sets.
Allow cheesecake to set at room temperature for one hour, then in the refrigerator at least three hours.
