ingredients
Syrup
1 1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cup sugar
Dough
3 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup milk
Rhubarb Filling
melted butter, as needed
3 cups chopped rhubarb
Sauce
1 cup chopped rhubarb
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup water

directions
Make a simple syrup by combining the sugar and water in a sauce pan. Cook over medium heat until thick and syrupy.
Place syrup in the bottom of a baking dish.
Combine dough ingredients.
Roll out dough 1/3-inch thick. Brush with butter, spread cut up rhubarb over the dough and roll up as for jelly roll. Cut into 1 1/2 inch slices and place cut sides down in syrup in pan in a single layer. Bake 40 minutes at 450 degrees F.
After about 30 minutes, baste with sauce made from cooking together the rhubarb, sugar, water and red food coloring.
Very good warm or cold with vanilla ice cream or plain. Bisquick made with 3 cups can be substituted for dough. Can be made with apples, or half and half with strawberries.

To answer the previous person's question, the first two ingredients of sugar and water, make the syrup that is put in the pan first and rolls placed in it after rolling out, rolling up and cutting. The sauce is poured over the top. These are delicious but not fancy or gourmet, just down home good
I would like clarification on this Recipe... I started to make the dough with the list under the "ingredients" and it was very wet, before I added the sugar and milk at the bottom of the list.. Are the water and sugar at the top of the "ingredients" supposed to be in the dough?
