RICE


BO

FON

To 1 cup of rice use 2½ cups of water.

Cook in a covered pan, over a hot fire, until the water has evaporated. Remove to the back of the stove for a few minutes. Then take from the stove and keep the pan covered for 10 minutes.

The flavor of the rice is greatly improved by adding butter and salt.
