In a saucepot over medium heat, add the butter to melt.
Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until they are all incorporated.
Bring the pot to a boil and continue to cook until you begin to see grains of rice bubble from the top of the liquid as depicted in this photo.
Lower the heat to medium-low to a simmer and cover with a lid. Cook for ten minutes without opening the lid.
After ten minutes, turn off the stove, move the pot to a cool surface, and let sit for another five minutes. Then remove the lid and fluff with a spatula.
