How to Make Pawpaw's Bacon Gravy

Step-by-Step

1In 6-8 in. skillet add drippings, flour, salt and pepper and whisk together. Heat on med. high heat stirring constantly untill it turns a med. to dark brown in color. Quickly add water, stirring constantly. Bring back up to boil, adjust salt and pepper to taste. Reduce to low and cook 1-2 minutes
2If gravy is alittle thick just add alittle more water. Must be served right away as it skims easily.
3If you don't save bacon drippings like us southern cooks just fry 4-5 pieces of bacon, thick sliced.
