Make a dressing the same as for fowls
Unroll the loin, put the stuffing well around the kidney
Fold and secure with several coils of white cotton twine wound around in all directions
Place in a dripping-pan with the thick side down
Put in a rather hot oven, graduated after it commences to roast to moderate
In half an hour add a little hot water to the pan, and baste often
In another half hour turn over the roast
When about done dredge lightly with flour and baste with melted butter
Modern guidance to help you succeed with this vintage recipe
Starting the roast in a hot oven then reducing to moderate heat creates initial browning through the Maillard reaction while preventing the delicate veal from overcooking. Keeping the kidney in place adds fat and flavor that bastes the lean meat from within. The final flour-and-butter dredge creates a golden crust by combining browned milk solids with starch, which crisps in the residual heat and absorbs pan drippings for enhanced flavor.
The stuffing can be prepared up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container. The loin can be stuffed and tied up to 4 hours in advance, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature for 30 minutes before roasting.
Store leftover roast veal in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Slice before storing to ensure even cooling. Reheat gently in a 300°F oven, covered with foil and with a splash of broth to prevent drying, for 15-20 minutes or until warmed through. Do not microwave as it will toughen the meat.
