Early in the day: 1. In a medium bowl, combine flour, 6 tablespoons sugar,
and 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel.

With pastry blender or two knives used scissor fashion, cut in butter or

into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan. Bake 8 - 10 minutes until golden
brown. Cool. Press rest of dough around sides of pan to within 1 inch of top.
Do not bake. 3. In a large bowl, with mixer at high speed, beat cream cheese
until smooth' gradually add Cheddar cheese, beating until well blended - about
5 minutes.

Occasionally scrape bowl with rubber spatula. 4. At medium speed, gradually
beat in 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1 3/4 cups
sugar, 2 egg yolks, and remaining ingredients until blended.

Beat 5 minutes, occasionally scraping bowl. 5. Pour mixture into crust. Bake
10 minutes. Turn oven control to 300F and bake 1 hour and 15 minutes longer or
until top is firm when lightly pressed with a finger. 6.

Cool in pan on wire rack. Cake will sink in center, leaving cracks around
crust. With spatula, loosen pan side and remove. Loosen cake from pan bottom;
slide onto plate; chill. Makes about 12 servings.
