3. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 4. 1/4 teaspoon salt
5. 1/3 cup margarine 6. 2 - 3 T milk
For crust: Mix first 5 ingredients; blend until crumbly. Sprinkle milk over mixture, stir until moist enough to hold together. Form ball and spread evenly over bottom and up 2 1/2" of sides in an ungreased 9" spring form pan.
Filling: 1 1/2 # cream cheese 1 1/4 cups sugar
5 eggs 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 teaspoon lemon rind
Beat cheese and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time. Beat well after each addition. Add vanilla and lemon. Blend well. Pour in crust and bake 55 - 60 minutes. (just until the center is firm to touch.) Chill until serving time. Top with fruit if desired. Release sides of pan and serve on pan bottom.
