qui's basmati pilaf

This pilaf is the type of pilaf my mother would always make except she would use long grain rice. It is very easy, delicious basic pilaf.

Rice cooker

1 cup white basmati rice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Place rice in strainer or bowl and rinse two to four times. Let rice dry for 1 hour.

Set cooker on quick cook or regular. Place the butter in the rice bowl. When melted, add the rice. Cook, stirring a few times, until all the grains are evenly coated, and just golden brown and hot , about 10 to 15 minutes. Add water and slat; stir to combine.
Close cover and reset for the regular cycle.

When complete let the rice set for about 10 minutes. Fluff.
