List of Ingredients
----PASTRY----
1 2/3 cup flour, all purpose
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup butter; cut in small pieces
1 tablespoon butter; (add to above)
2 tablespoon sugar
1 egg
4 tablespoon water, ice

1 1/4 cup sugar
3 eggs; separated
1/4 cup cornstarch
5 drops of vanilla
1/2 cup milk Recipe
** PASTRY SHELL: Sift flour and salt into a large bowl. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until evenly distributed and mixture resembles breadcrumbs. With a fork, lightly mix in sugar, egg and enough ice water to make a dough. Press into a ball and wrap in foil or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 deg F. On a floured surface, roll out dough to fit a 10-in flan tin with a removable bottom. Place dough in tin without stretching.
** FILLING: Beat cream cheese, oil, sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch, vanilla and milk in a large bowl until smooth. Beat egg whites until stiff; fold into cream cheese mixture. Pour into pastry shell. Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
Turn off oven. Let cheesecake cool in oven with door open slightly. Remove cooled cheesecake from tin and serve.
