Rhubarb Dumplings

One reviewer suggested cutting into 6 pieces and putting in an 8x8 inch pan. She found it hard to cut the roll with the chopped rhubarb inside into 1 inch slices. Or 9 pieces in an 8x8 inch pan.

SAUCE:
1-1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups water
1/3 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Red food coloring, optional

DOUGH:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2-1/2 tablespoons cold butter
3/4 cup 2% milk

FILLING:
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 cups finely chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

In a saucepan, 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 and, if desired, enough food coloring to tint sauce a deep pink. Set sauce aside.

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 overmix.) Gather dough into a ball and roll out on a floured surface into a 12x9-in. rectangle.

Spread with softened butter; arrange rhubarb on top. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over rhubarb. Roll up from a long side and place on a cutting board, seam side down. Cut roll into 12 slices. Arrange slices cut side up in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Pour sauce over. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.
