--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4       lb           Leg of lamb
   1       tb           Parsley
   1                    Bay leaf
   1       tb           Flour
     1/8   ts           Black pepper
   2       tb           Cold water
   1                    Small onion, chopped
   2       tb           Butter
   1       c            Buttermilk
     1/2   ts           Salt
   1       tb           Cornstarch

    Saute onion, carrot and parsley in butter until the     
  onion is transparent. Add bay leaf and buttermilk.        
    Sprinkle flour in a baking bag large enough to          
  contain the lamb. Place half the buttermilk mixture in    
  the bag. Sprinkle lamb with salt and pepper. Place        
  lamb in bag, and cover with remaining buttermilk          
  mixture. Seal bag and puncture in 3-4 places.             
    Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of     
  the meat. Roast in a moderate onev (350 deg F) until      
  lamb registers 165 deg for medium or 180 deg for well     
  done. Carefully strain liquid from bag. Measure and       
  make up to 1 cup with water, if necessary.                
    Stir cornstarch into cold water. Add to liquid, cook    
  over medium heat until thickened. Serve sauce over        
  sliced lamb.
