Perfect Fluffy Rice

In a saucepan, bring 2 ⅝ cups water to a boil. For enhanced taste, add 1 ½ Tbsp butter or oil and a pinch of salt per cup of rice.

Stir in 1 ½ cups basmati rice, cover with a tight fitting lid, and reduce heat to a low simmer.

Simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat, let rest 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
