3/4 cup fine graham cracker crumbs
 2 Tbsp butter
 1 cup + 5 Tbsp sugar
 1 1/2 lb. cream cheese
 3 eggs
 2 tsp. vanilla
 2 cup sour cream
 Have butter, cheese and eggs at room temp. Mix crumbs, butter and
 2 Tbsp sugar. Blend well. Press on bottom of 9" springform pan.
 Cream cheese well.  Slowly beat in 1 cup sugar. Then add eggs, one
 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add 1 tsp. vanilla.
 Pour into prepared pan.
 Bake 350 for 20 minutes or until set (I find it takes a little
 longer than this, however, don't let it get too firm in the center
 or the sides will be too dry).
 Remove from oven and increase heat to 500. Mix sour cream, 3 Tbsp
 sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla. Spread on cake. Return to oven and bake
 5 min. Cool, then chill.
