What to expect
This will smell like it should have a pretty photo… but remember: this isn’t “correct” food; this is give-yourself-grace food 🙂
What to do
Dump into rice cooker:
- 2 cups basmati rice (or whichever rice you have on hand)
- 4 cups water
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 3-4 Tbsp sugar
- Note: I do 3 Tbsp sugar and it is sweet enough for some, but not sweet enough for all 🙂 so adjust to your taste.
- 1¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp allspice
Optional (only if you feel like it):
- ¼ cup raisins
- ¼ cup cashews
Press Cook → rest 10 minutes → fluff. You know your rice cooker best so press what you must to get it going. I pressed the ‘White Rice’ button on mine.
Top with French’s Crispy Fried Onions.
I see you. You matter. I care. Just keep going. This too shall pass. 💛
