How To Make rhubarb dumplings

  • Step 1
    For sauce: In a sauce pan, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Stir in water. Add butter. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add vanilla; set aside.
  • Step 2
    For dough: In a medium bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk and mix quickly. Do not over mix. Gather dough into a ball and roll out on a floured surface into a 9"x12" rectangle.

Cut roll into 12 slices. Arrange slices in a greased 9"x13" baking dish. Pour sauce over. (It will be liquidy, thats okay)Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.
