So I really fought with the crust.  I added more butter and finally got a paper thin lining around the edges. I think with the corrections that this recipe has (more flour, sugar, and butter) it will be alot easier.  I love it.  I learned that it is best to let a cheesecake cool slowly in the oven.  Turn off the heat, open the door, and just let it sit in there.  And that it will still be wobbly when it is done. (So mine has a huge creator in the middle) It is delicious and just the right touch of citrus.  The blend of lemon and orange make this recipe delightful.  Well worth the effort of grating fresh peel...

Then continue on with recipe.  Hope this helps.
