Hungarian Cheesecake Crust:
1 1/2 cups unbleached flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 tablespoons sweet butter, no margarine
2 large egg yolks; large, lightly beaten
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 to 4 tablespoons cold water
Cheesecake:
2 cups cottage cheese
4 each eggs, large
1/4 cup sugar, granulated
1 teaspoon lemon rind, grated
1 cup sour cream
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup raisins
Sift together the flour and baking powder, set aside. Cream the butter in a
large mixing bowl, then add the egg yolks, salt and lemon juice, mixing well.
Add the dry mixture, then using your fingers, work the dough into a smooth
consistency. Add the cold water as necessary to work the dough. Roll the dough
out on a flat surface to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Cut the dough to fit the
greased bottom of a 9 inch springform pan and place the dough in the bottom. Use
the excess to line the sides of the pan. Chill. Cheesecake: Preheat the oven to
450F. Press the cottage cheese through a sieve. In a large mixing bowl, beat 3
eggs and the sugar until well blended. Add the cottage cheese and beat, then
stir in the lemon rind and the sour cream. Separate the remaining egg, saving
the yolk for another recipe and brush the crust with the white. Combine the
pineapple and raisins in a bowl, then spread the mixture evenly on the prepared
crust. Pour the cheese mixture on the top of the fruit mixture. Bake for 10
minutes at 450F then reduce the oven to 350F and bake for about another 35
minutes. Cool to room temperature, then chill. Serve chilled. |
