Perfect Basic White Rice

Mama's Kitchen (Hope)'s Note:

You do not need to be afraid of cooking rice again! lol Real rice is so much better for you than instant. So here is a basic recipe that will have you cooking rice like a pro!

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 0 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 cup long grain rice
• 2 cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon butter (optional)

Directions:

1. In a saucepan with a good fitting lid bring water, salt and butter if desired to a boil.
2. Add rice and stir.
3. Cover and reduce heat to medium low. You will know that your temperature is correct if a little steam is visible leaking from the lid. A lot of steam means your heat is too high.
4. Cook for 20 minutes.
5. DO NOT LIFT LID!
6. The steam that is trapped inside the pan is what allows the rice to cook properly.
7. Remove from heat and fluff with fork.
8. Serve!

My beloved rice cooker broke and my husband didn't think I need to go to the expense of
replacing it. I have not had a lot of luck with a pot. The rice was ususally too sticky.
I followed this recipe exactly and it is HEAVEN! Thank you soooo much!!!
