It’s actually difficult to find a good simple white rice recipe. Heres something simple to go along with almost any meal.

Ingredients

1 cup white long grain rice
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups water

Directions

Add the rice to a covered sauce pan. Add the butter, salt, water and stir.

Bring rice to a boil, reduce heat to lowest possible simmer, covered for 15 minutes.

Turn off heat but leave rice covered for 5 minutes longer.

Long grain rice may be fluffed and separated before serving.

Note: Use more or less water depending on humidity and elevation of local where rice is cooked.

Cooking Tip: The more you take the cover off of the rice, the longer it will take to cook. It needs the steam to cook better. I’ve made this mistake.
