Coffee and Caramel Cheesecake

Step 2: The Crust

Cream the butter and sugar for the filling. Add the egg. Then add the flour.

Use your hands to push it all to the edges of a sprin gform pan, and maybe just a tad up the side. A spring form pan is a special pan that is in two parts, a base plate and then a collar that you can detach. It helps get the cheesecake out later. Prick the crust with a fork to keep it from puffing up to much.

Bake at 400°F for around 10 minutes, or until it gets just slightly browned.
