Beginner'S Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup white rice, dry
2 2/3 cups tap water
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

In a 3-quart saucepan, bring the water, salt, and butter to a rolling boil. Add in the dry rice and stir.
Reduce the heat to very low, a simmer, and cover.
Check the rice after 12 minutes and stir. If it's gooey-looking or still wet, re-cover and check it again in 5 more minutes. It should be done at this point.
Fluff it up with a spoon and take it off the heat. Cover again until you're ready to serve.
