This recipe is from my mother, RoLayne Rasmussen Ferrin. My brother says this cheesecake is just like the gospel; you get a little taste and you must have some more.

14 to 16 graham crackers, crushed

1/8 cup melted margarine or butter.

Mix. Line Pyrex pie pan with graham crackers and press in with back of spoon. Put into freezer to set crust.

12 oz. cream cheese, softened

½ cup sugar

2 xlg or 3 medium eggs

½ tsp. vanilla

Topping:

½ pt. sour cream

3 Tbsp. sugar

½ tsp. vanilla

Spread quickly over baked pie. Bake five minutes at 350 degrees.  Cool ½ hour, then refrigerate. (Double recipe may be made in 10-inch spring form pan.)
