Baked cheesecakes

These cheesecakes are perfect: minimal flour, a thin golden crust and a tender, curd soufflé-like center. Immediately after cooking they melt in your mouth, but even after cooling down they don't become rubbery, but retain their tender, curd-like texture. Recipe by Moscow chef Mark Statsenko, published in «Eda.Ru» magazine.
