Oven Baked Brown Rice

1 1/2 c. long, medium or short grain brown rice
2 1/3 c. water
2 tsp. butter
1/2 tsp. salt

Heat oven to 375F. Spread rice into an 8" square baking dish.

Bring water and butter to boil, covered, in medium saucepan over high heat; once boiling, immediately sitr in salt and pour water over rice. Cover baking dish tightly with doubled layer of foil. Bake rice 1 hour, until tender.

Remove baking dish from oven and uncover. Fluff with a fork, cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rice stand 5 minutes. Uncover and let stand 5 minutes longer.
