This recipe was extracted from Modern cookery, in all its branches (1884) by Eliza Acton, page 223. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

ROAST SADDLE OF MUTTON. This is an excellent joint, though not considered a very economical one. It is usual for the butcher to raise the skin from it before it is sent in, and to skewer it on again, that in the roasting the juices of the meat may be better preserved, and the fat prevented from taking too much colour, as this should be but delicately browned. In less than half an hour before the mutton is done, remove the skin, and flour the joint lightly

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
