Cheesecake

Cheese Cake:
Need 9" Spring form pan wrapped in aluminum foil

Crust:
3 tbs melted butter
3 tbs sugar
2 cups graham cracker crumbs.

Mix and press into pan and partly up the sides  (I like to use the bottom of a cup). Bake in 325 degree oven for 5 minutes and cool completely

Filling:
(4) 8oz package cream cheese at room temperature
3 tbs all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 pint (8oz) sour cream
1cup sweetened condensed milk
2 tbs vanilla extract
4 large eggs

Using a paddle attachment, mix cream cheese until smooth. Then add remaining ingredients.  Until incorporated well. Do not over mix.

Pour into pan and bake on 325 degrees until set. Usually 1 hour and 15 minutes, but since each oven varies start checking at 1 hour. It may still jiggle, but if you press in the center, it feels firmer than you'd expect. If you bake it too long it will crack (like i did in the picture) but that is better than under cooking. And as long as you don't exceed the cooking time by much, you can't mess it up.
