Add the butter and stir until melted. Reduce heat to medium and cook about 8 minutes, stirring constantly and scraping pan bottom well.

Add the rice and stir thoroughly; cover pan and turn heat to very low; cook about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and leave covered until rice is tender, about 10 minutes.

Remove bay leaves and serve immediately.
