How to make it

• Preheat oven to 180ºC.
• Line the base and grease a 22cm round springform tin with butter. ***GO DOWN***
• Crush the biscuits in a food processor, then add the butter.
• Empty and press the crumbs into the bottom of the tin. (Easiest if you press with the bottom of a glass)
• Beat the cream cheese and sugar in an electric mixer until smooth.
• Add the cornflour and eggs, 1 at a time, beating until smooth.
• Then dd the lemon juice, vanilla and salt.
• Mix in the sour cream and beat briefly.
• Pour the mixture into the tin.
• Fill a large baking dish with boiling water, so it comes half way up the tins' side.
• Place the cheesecake into the baking dish.
• Bake for 50 minutes, then turn off the oven but do not open the door for a further hour.
• Cool completely in the tin on a wire rack.
• Refrigerate overnight.
• ***DO NOT GO ANY FURTHER UNTIL YOU'VE DONE THIS...***
• Tear off a piece of foil double the size of the base of your tin. (44cm).
• Fold the foil in half.
• Lay the foil over the base of the tin, then put the buttered round of paper on top.
• Sit the springform tin over the base and lock the sides into place, leaving excess foil outside the tin.
• Draw up the excess foil around the tin and fold the top out of the way.
