Steps:
- Using a strainer, rinse the rice under cold water, then drain it completely. (Here's why.)
- In a saucepan over high heat, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice and stir. Continue to boil uncovered until tender, with the water bubbling rapidly, for 20 minutes. Start tasting at 18 to 20 minutes: if the rice is tender, remove the heat. If not, keep cooking 5 to 10 minutes more until the rice is tender. (All rice types and brands are slightly different, so you'll have to adjust according to the specific rice. Ours is usually done in around 18 to 25 minutes.)
- Pour the rice into a strainer, then return it to the pot. Cover the pot and allow the rice to steam for 5 minutes. Uncover and fluff the rice with a fork. Stir in the salt.
KARJALAN PIES
These savory pastries were my favorite thing to eat in Finland. Rice porridge surrounded by a rye flour crust, baked until slightly browned. In Finland, they're often eaten at breakfast or lunch. Delicious topped with ham, cheese, or just (real!) butter.

Steps:
- Combine rice and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Stir in milk, cover, and cook until milk is absorbed by the rice, about 20 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). In a medium bowl, stir together the salt and rye flour. Stir in water. Mix in all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon at a time until dough is just past the sticky stage. Divide the dough into 16 equal portions.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of dough out into a thin circle 6 inches in diameter. The dough should be as thin as possible. Place about 3 tablespoons of the rice mixture in the center of each circle. Spread the mixture out to within 1 inch of the edges. Fold the edges of the dough upward, and crimp the edges so as to allow the pastries to hold their shape. Pinch the sides at each end to form a little boat. Place pastries about 3 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet, and brush the tops with butter.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the dough is firm, and the rice porridge is slightly browned on the top. Serve warm.

MASTER RECIPE: BROWN RICE
Unlike white rice, brown rice retains the nutritious bran and germ covering of the rice grain. This gives it a chewy texture, a nutty aroma, and plenty of essential nutrients. Follow our tried-and-true formula for perfectly fluffy brown rice every time.

Steps:
- The Right Ratio: Trust us: Though it's printed on the package, the standard 2-to-1 ratio makes mushy rice. For long-grain brown rice, use 1 1/4 cups water to 1 cup rice. For short-grain, use 1 1/2 cups water.
- Quick Cooking Time: Bring rice, water, and salt (1/4 teaspoon per cup of rice) to a boil. Cover, and reduce to a slow, steady simmer. Many recipes call for 50 minutes, but we think 30 minutes is plenty. A wide, shallow pot with a tight-fitting lid ensures evenly cooked grains.
- Steam and Fluff: Let the cooked rice sit for 10 minutes, covered, to absorb maximum moisture; then remove the lid, and fluff the grains with a fork.

Steps:
- To make the filling, in a medium saucepan, combine the rice with the cup of water and bring to a boil. Add the milk and three tablespoons of the butter and reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is creamy, adding more milk if necessary. This will take about one-and-a-half hours. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Season with the salt and pepper and let cool.
- To make the pastry, combine the melted butter, water, salt and white flour in a large bowl and beat until smooth. Stir in the rye flour and mix until the dough is stiff and compact. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about five minutes. Cover and refrigerate for up to one hour, if desired.
- To assemble the piirakka, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Divide the dough into four pieces, and divide each piece into four balls. Roll out each ball on a lightly floured surface to form a five-inch circle. Place three tablespoons of the filling on each circle, spreading it to within one inch of the edge. Fold the uncovered edges of the dough over the filling, crimping them to form an oval-shaped pastry, but leaving the center of each one open.
- Make a glaze by melting the remaining butter with the half-and-half, stirring occasionally.
- Place the pastries on a lightly greased baking sheet and brush with the glaze. Bake for five minutes, then brush again with the glaze and bake for 10 minutes longer, or until golden. Brush once more after removing the pastries from the oven. Serve warm or cold with buttered egg salad.
