New York Style Cheesecake

I found this recipe on www.allrecipes.com, and it is a winner.  The only change I made from the original recipe was to bake at a lower temperature because the first time I made it the edges got too brown.  I also added a glaze over the strawberries of heated strawberry jam mixed with a little lemon juice.  Check out the lack of cracks!

from Allrecipes


INGREDIENTS:
15 graham crackers, crushed
2 tablespoons butter, melted
 
4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup milk
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
DIRECTIONS:
1.Preheat oven to 330 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch springform pan.
2.In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press onto bottom of springform pan.
3.In a large bowl, mix cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Blend in milk, and then mix in the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Mix in sour cream, vanilla and flour until smooth. Pour filling into prepared crust.
4.Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour 10 minutes. Turn the oven off, and let cake cool in oven with the door closed for 5 to 6 hours; this prevents cracking. Chill in refrigerator until serving.
