Crust Preparation

1. Prepare the Crust

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, melted butter, and salt. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.

2. Form the Crust

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Make sure to press it up the sides slightly too.

3. Bake the Crust

Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.

Filling Preparation

4. Mix Cream Cheese

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

5. Add Sugar and Sour Cream

Gradually add in the granulated sugar and sour cream, mixing until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

6. Incorporate Vanilla and Flour

Add the vanilla extract and flour to the mixture, and blend until just combined.

7. Add Eggs

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until fully combined. Do not overmix.

8. Pour Filling into Crust

Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

9. Bake the Cheesecake

Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the door, letting the cheesecake cool in the oven for an hour.

10. Cool and Refrigerate

Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
