    8 ounces plain graham crackers
    1 1/2 cups extra finely granulated sugar, plus (baker's sugar)

    When done baking, remove cheesecake from the oven and cool for 15 minutes.
    Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees.
    While the cheesecake is cooling, make the topping. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons of vanilla and the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar.
    Spread topping over the cooled filling.
    Bake in a 450 degree oven for 10 minutes.
