Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, cream the cheese, 1 tb of the butter and the sugar. Do not beat. Stir in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the cinnamon, lemon rind, flour, and salt; blend well. Butter the pan with the remaining 2 tb of butter, using your fingers to spread the butter completely.
