Sweet Rice (Mom's Buttery Version)
Southern buttery sweet rice made with instant rice, butter, and sugar. A childhood comfort food recipe passed down from my mom. Serve it hot with toast for dunking in the sweet liquid at the bottom of the bowl.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 cup white Minute Rice any white rice can be used
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup white sugar
Instructions
- Bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add instant rice, stir once, remove from heat, and cover. Let sit for 5 minutes without lifting the lid.
- Uncover and stir in butter while the rice is still hot. Stir until the butter melts completely into the rice.
- Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Taste and add more sugar if you want it sweeter.
- Serve hot in a bowl with toast on the side for dunking into the sweet buttery liquid at the bottom of the bowl.
Start with 1/4 cup sugar and taste before adding the full 1/2 cup.
Notes
You can add honey, maple syrup, any sweetener of your choice instead of white sugar.
