Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and line a springform pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt. Stir in melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Firmly press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Chill the crust while preparing the filling.
Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then add sugar and mix well.
Incorporate flour, vanilla bean paste, and vanilla extract followed by eggs one at a time.
Add sour cream and lemon juice; mix until smooth.
Brown the butter in a saucepan until golden and fragrant; let cool slightly before adding to the batter.
Pour the filling into the chilled crust and bake for about 55–60 minutes until set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
Turn off oven and leave cheesecake inside for an hour as it cools gradually.
Chill completely before serving.
