British Bacon Fat Yorkshire Pudding

The fancy lads overseas like to call them "rashers", but that's neither here nor there.

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup bacon grease
3/4 cup milk

Mix flour & salt together until blended. Make a well in the flour. Add the milk and whisk until the mixture is light and frothy. Set aside for an hour (or if it's the day before, cover in the fridge overnight). When the bacon grease is ready (nice and hot), ready the mixture. Preheat the oven to 400º degrees. Pour off drippings from bacon and measure out desired amount (about 1/2 cup). Pour drippings into a 9x12 baking dish and place into the oven until the drippings sizzle. Pour the batter over the drippings and bake for 30 minutes or until the sides have risen and are golden brown. Cut into eight portions and serve immediately.
