1. Prep: 1 1/2 hours before preparing the cheesecake, set out the cream cheese, eggs, and sour cream to come to room temperature. It is extremely important for a creamy cheesecake that your ingredients are not cold. You will need a 9" (23 cm) spring form pan for this recipe. Right before starting the crust, preheat your oven to 375 F (190 C) and position your oven rack in the center position. (Do not use the convection setting if you oven has it for this recipe)
2. Prepare the Crust: Place the graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until you have cookie crumbs. Alternatively, you can put them in a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to roll back and forth over them until they are crumbs. Place the cookie crumbs in a medium bowl and mix with the sugar and melted butter. Firmly press the crust into the bottom and about 1" (2.5 cm) up the side of a 9" (23 cm) spring form pan.
3. Bake & Cool Crust: Bake the crust at 375 F (190 C) for 8 minutes. Set the crust aside to cool while you prepare the filling.
4. Cream the Sugar & Cream Cheese: Increase the oven temperature to 475 F (246 C)- it needs to be preheating for at least 20 minutes before the cheesecake goes in so that it truly is hot enough. In the bowl of a stand mixer fit with a paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and flour and beat on medium speed for 6 minutes, until light and fluffy. Turn the mixer down to low speed.

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and set an oven rack in the lower middle position. Wrap a 9- or 10-inch springform pan with one large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, covering the underside and extending all the way to the top so there are no seams on the bottom or sides of the pan. Repeat with another sheet of foil for insurance. Spray the inside of the pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Stir until well combined. Press the crumbs into an even layer on the the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, until set. Remove the pan from the oven and set aside.
3. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F. Set a kettle of water to boil.
4. Make the batter: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or beaters, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and flour together on medium speed until just smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to be sure the mixture is evenly combined. Add the vanilla, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt; beat on low speed until just combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed until incorporated, scraping the bowl as necessary. Mix in the sour cream. Make sure the batter is uniform but do not over-mix.
