Place breast down in roaster and brush back with bacon drippings. Add 1/2 cup water per duck. Set in hot oven for 20 minutes. Turn oven to 350 degrees and bake 1-1/2-2 hours, covered. Remove cover to brown. Louisiana ducks are often so fat they do not need the butter. From "Talk About Good" Submitted by Mrs. Al Beachman
