1½ cups flour
2 eggs
1 thick slab off a roll of butter (about 1 stick,1/4 lb.)
Pinch of baking powder
3/4 cup sugar
A little lemon rind

Put all together and work like pie crust. Pat into place in pie or cake pan..

FILLING:
1 cup Cottage Cheese (old fashioned kind), quark , or ricotta
mixed or put through strainer to make a smooth paste.
1 cup sugar
5 egg yolks
5 stiffly-beaten whites
1 teaspoon flour with cheese
½ pint cream
Slice in a few almonds very fine
Some juice of lemon

Pour this mixture into the crust.
Put a little sugar and cinnamon on top. Bake in pretty warm oven (375 degrees) for one hour.
