SWEET RICE

Most everyone loves rice. I sure do. Here in the mountains we serve it for breakfast as a side dish. When you go to the city and began talking about this they look at you sometimes like you have lost it but trust me it is so good with sausage and biscuits. Of course we do like very one else these days and use instant rice a lot. But you can still cook the old time way with just regular white rice. If using white rice soak over night as this gets a lot of the starch out of it. Then drain.

SWEET RICE

1 Cup of instant rice
1/3 Cup of Milk
1/2 Cup Sugar or more to your liking
1/4 Stick of Butter

Fix rice according to directions on box. Take off stove and let it fluff up. Put the milk in the rice and the sugar and stir. Now add the butter cut in slices. Now put the kettle of rice back on the stove on medium but watch as it does not have any water in it and will burn easy. Let cook for about 3 or 4 minutes to melt the butter. Stir again . Take off of stove and serve with scrambled eggs, sausage and biscuits. It is also good served with gravy and bacon and fried eggs. If using regular rice. Cook and drain some of the water off of it and add the milk, sugar and butter. If it is to soupy just drain some of the soup off.
