Rhubarb Rolls

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter
• 3/4 cup milk
• 3 cups finely chopped rhubarb
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch pan.

Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Dissolve 1 cup sugar in boiling water, then add 3 tablespoons butter. Remove from heat, and set syrup aside to cool.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in 1/2 cup butter. Stir in milk; mix lightly. Roll out on a floured surface into a rectangle shape about 12 inches long.

In another bowl, combine rhubarb, cinnamon, and 1 cup sugar. Spread evenly over roll, leaving a 1/2 inch edge. Roll dough tightly lengthwise, and seal the seam. Cut into twelve 1 inch sections. Arrange rolls in prepared pan. Pour syrup over rolls.

Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until lightly browned.
