Preamble
"Cheesecake from Luxembourg"

Ingredients
3 oz SR Flour
1 oz Castor Sugar
Pinch Salt
A little Milk
12 oz Curd Cheese sieved
1 Egg separated
1 Egg Yolk
2 Lemons
2 oz Castor Sugar
1/4 pint Double Cream

Method

Mix together the flour, 1 oz castor sugar and salt. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Mix to a pliable dough with a little milk.

Roll out to fit base of a greased shallow 11 inch by 7 inch tin. Bake in the centre of oven at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes until golden brown.

Beat together curd cheese, egg yolks, grated rind and juice of one lemon, 2 oz castor sugar and lightly whipped cream.

From the remaining rind, cut slivers free of white pith; cut these into fine julienne strips.

Stiffly whisk egg white and fold into cheese mixture. Spread over baked pastry, scatter julienne strips over and bake for a further 30-35 minutes at 375 degrees F until topping is set. Serve slightly warm, cut into squares and eat with a fork.
