proportions being about two quarts of unsalted water to each half pint of rice Sprinkle the rice in so so slowly that the water will scarcely stop boiling and cook It at a gallop In order that the grains may be kept in motion while boiling Do not stir or touch the rice in any way after the grains have commenced to soften When they are done drain off all the water and set the pan In the oven Do not let that the rice may swell It cook or brown and serve It as soon as It has become thoroughly dry which will probably be in less than ten minutes Let each person salt the rice to suit his own
