Rinse 1 cup rice under running water using a fine mesh sieve, and allow to drain (I'm using Basmati from India these days).
Add rice to a 3qt. saucepan with a heavy lid.
Add two cups fresh water, 1/4 tsp. salt and a teaspoon of butter. Stir.
Bring mixture to a boil with the lid off.
Reduce heat to lowest setting, cover and simmer 20 minutes.
Fluff and serve with more butter, or Tamari sauce, or whatever.
