    Directions:

    1. 1
      In a saucepan with a good fitting lid bring water, salt and butter if desired to a boil.
    2. 2
      Add rice and stir.
    3. 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. 4
      Cook for 20 minutes.
    5. 5
      DO NOT LIFT LID!
    6. 6
      The steam that is trapped inside the pan is what allows the rice to cook properly.
    7. 7
      Remove from heat and fluff with fork.
    8. 8
      Serve!
