- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1/4 cup lemon juice fresh
- 4 egg room temperature, large

Instructions
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons sugar, and the melted butter until the mixture is moistened. If needed, add 1-2 more tablespoons of butter to help it reach the right consistency.
- Press firmly into the bottom and a quarter way up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake at 325°F for 10 minutes. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
- Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup sugar, the flour, sour cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Add eggs and yolk one at a time, mixing just until combined.
- Pour the filling into the crust. Bake in a water bath at 325°F for about 1 hour or until set but slightly wobbly in the center.
