Rinse the rice in several changes of cold water until the water runs clear, then drain it well in a fine-mesh sieve.
Melt the butter in a heavy pot over moderate heat, add the rice, and stir for 2 minutes.
Pour in the water and salt, bring to the boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cook covered until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
Take the pot off the heat and let it stand covered and undisturbed for 5 minutes, then fluff the rice gently with a fork.
