  1. Saw off the shank-bone, remove the sinew, pare away the dark dry skin from the skirt, and also the dried surface of the under part.
  2. Then cover the haunch with a large sheet of buttered paper, and over that, place a covering of flour and water paste, about half an inch in thickness; envelope the whole with two large sheets of cartridge-paper, and having fastened these on with string, place the venison on a cradle-spit, or, if that be wanting, the haunch of venison should be first put on the common spit, preparatory to its being covered as aforesaid.
  3. If the haunch be a fine one, it should be allowed from four hours to four and a half to roast, and about twenty minutes before it is done, the paste and paper should be removed, and a little salt sprinkled over it.
  4. Then with a dredger-box shake over some flour to froth and colour it; baste it with four ounces of fresh butter, and about five minutes after, take the haunch up from the fire, place it on its dish, pour a rich brown gravy under it, put a paper ruffle on the bone, and send to table, with a sauceboat filled with sweet sauce (No. 65).
