Ingredients
1 1/2 cups white rice, medium or short grain
2 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Place the rice into an 8-inch square glass baking dish.
3. Bring the water, butter, and salt just to a boil in a kettle or covered saucepan. Once the water boils, pour it over the rice, stir to combine, and cover the dish tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
4. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 20 minutes.
5. After 20 minutes, remove cover and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve immediately.
