2 tb Butter; softened 2 c Finely chopped rhubarb
1/2 c Sugar Cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare sauce first. In a small saucepan,
combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually mix in the water,
and add the butter. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 1
minute. Add the vanilla and, if desired, food coloring to tint dark
pink. Let cool.

the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut or process in the
butter until the mixture resembles small corn niblets. Add the milk
and mix quickly.

Spread the dough with the softened butter, and arrange the rhubarb on
top. Sprinkle sugar all over, and dust liberally with cinnamon. Roll
up from the 07/01/92 9:24 PM long side, and place on a cutting board,
seam side down. Cut the roll into 12 slices. Arrange cut side up on
an oiled 3 qt. flat glass baking dish.

Poor cooled sauce over the top. Bake for 35 minutes, until the
dumplings are puffy and golden brown. Serve with cream if desired.

NOTE: Frozen rhubarb can be used. Do not thaw before arranging on
dough. Cook the same length of time.
