Yolk, almond extract, and butter and blend with a fork. Blend the
mixture adding water until dough is smooth Place the dough in a bowl,
cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Roll one third of the dough on a
floured surface to make a 9 inch round set into the bottom of a
buttered 9 inch spring-form pan. Roll the remaining dough pressing
the pieces against the sides of the pan and smooth out any seams.

1 1/2 cup sugar

5 eggs
2 egg yolks

1 teaspoon lemon extract

smooth. Blend in the eggs and egg yolks, vanilla extract, lemon
extract, and cream. Pour the cheese mixture into the crust and place
on a heavy-duty baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 500F oven for 15
minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 200F and bake 1 hour. Turn
the oven off, open the oven door, and allow the cheesecake to cool for
30 minutes. The cheesecake is best if serve just chilled.

Even though I have tried to be very careful in typing the recipes,
I cannot be responsible for typographical errors. Some recipes have
been given to me and I have not yet had a chance to try them.
If ingredients or amounts seem wrong, do not use them.
