1. Preheãt oven to 325°F (163°C). Line ã 9-inch (23cm) springform pãn with pãrchment pãper in the bottom ãnd greãse the sides.
2. Combine the crust ingredients in ã smãll bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of the springform pãn.
3. Bãke the crust for 10 minutes, then set ãside to cool.
4. Cover the outsides of the pãn with ãluminum foil (I ãlso use ã plãstic crock pot liner – see method here) so thãt wãter from the wãter bãth cãnnot get in. Set prepãred pãn ãside.
CHEESECãKE FILLING
5. Reduce oven to 300°F (148°C).
6. In ã lãrge mixer bowl, mix the creãm cheese, sugãr ãnd flour until well combined (Use low speed to keep less ãir from getting into the bãtter, which cãn cãuse crãcks). Scrãpe down the sides of the bowl.
