Gravy--Pour drippings, including fat into 4 cup liquid measure. Let stand for about 10 minutes until fat separates and comes to surface. Carefully spoon off and discard fat. Add water to drippings to make 4 cups. Pour into large saucepan or roasting pan. Bring to a boil on medium. Stir second amount of water into flour in small bowl until smooth. Stir into drippings for 5-7 minutes, stirring with whisk to prevent lumps, until boiling and thickened!
