This recipe was extracted from The Henderson cook book (1914) by First Baptist Church (Henderson, N.C.). Ladies' Aid Society, page 20. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

TO BOIL RICE. Pick out all discolored grains ; wash it well in two waters ; drop it into a kettle of boiling water previously salted ; then set the kettle on the back of the stove over a slow fire, and let the rice simmer very slowly until done. One cup of rice will require one quart of water. Never stir it ; when it is thoroughly cooked each kernel will stand apart by itself, plump and whole. When done pour immediately into a colander, and set it upon the coolest part of the stove. Toss it up lightly when put in the colander. It should be boiled in an open stewpan, lined with porcelain. A tablespoon of lemon juice
