Roast Leg of Lamb.
Lay in the dripping-pan; pour a cup of boiling water over it, and roast steadily, twelve minutes to the pound, basting very often. Ten minutes before taking it up, dredge with flour, and baste well with butter to make a brown froth. Lay on a dish, and keep hot. Pour the gravy into a basin set in very cold water. This will send the grease to the top. Remove it all; pour the brown gravy into a saucepan; thicken with browned flour; season, boil once, and serve in a boat. Pass currant-jelly with lamb.
