and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat; add vanilla. If desired, add
enough food coloring to turn the mixture a deep pink. Let cool. For
dumplings, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium
mixing bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles small peas. Add
milk and mix quickly but do not overmix. Shape dough into a ball. On
a floured surface, roll dough to a 12-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Spread
dough with butter and arrange rhubarb on top. Sprinkle sugar and
cinnamon over all. Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting at a long end.
Cut into 12 slices. Arrange, cut side up, in a greased 3-qt. baking
dish. Pour sauce over dumplings. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes or
until dumplings are puffy and golden brown. Serve warm with cream if
desired.

Yield: 12 servings.
