Rinse 1 cup of long grain rice in a sieve until the water runs clear.

Place the rinsed rice in a bowl and set aside.

In a skillet with a glass lid, add 1 and 3/4 cup of cold water and heat until steamy.

Add 3/4 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of butter to the water and stir until the butter melts.

Once the water is bubbling, add the rinsed rice and stir well.

Lower the heat to a low simmer, cover with the lid, and set a timer for 14 minutes.

After 14 minutes, turn off the heat and let the rice sit covered for 15 minutes without touching it.

Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
