Rabbit en Casserole

Dress the rabbit and cut into pieces for serving, dredge with flour and fry in butter until delicately browned, then put into the casserole. Melt two tablespoons of butter in the frying pan, add an onion cut in slices, and when well browned add two tablespoons of flour and slowly add two cups of hot water, stir until smooth, then pour over the rabbit, add a bit of bay leaf, enough water to half cover and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and let cook in the oven slowly for an hour or more. When tender add one and one-half tablespoons of lemon juice, three tablespoons of sherry.

Cover and serve at once. If a thicker sauce is desired add another tablespoon of flour.
