40 graham crackers
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 stick butter
2 lbs. cottage cheese
1 c. sugar
4 tbsp. lemon juice or half of lemon juice & some rind
8 egg yolks
4 tbsp. flour
8 egg whites, whipped, put in last

Crush crackers to fine crumbs. Add sugar and melted butter, mix thoroughly. Save 3 or 4 tablespoons of crumbs for top of cake. Pat rest of crumbs into 9 x 13 inch cake pan. Set aside.

Use a large mixing bowl to put the whipped cheese into. Strain the cheese through a strainer or blender until creamy, about 3/4 cup at a time and a few seconds at a time. Add sugar, flour and lemon juice, mix well. Add egg yolks and mix again. Whip the egg whites until they hold a peak, add to cheese mixture and mix lightly. Pour the cheese mixture into the crumb crust. Top with saved crumbs.

Bake at 350 degrees (if your oven bakes hot lower it to 325 degrees after 15 minutes), continue baking 30 to 35 minutes more.
