Ingredients

• 4 large rhubarb stalks
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 75 grams unsalted butter
• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 120 milliliters whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 250 milliliters water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly.

Step 2

Wash the rhubarb stalks and cut them into 3-inch pieces. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Step 4

Cut in 75 grams of unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Add the milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 8 portions, rolling each one into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly.

Step 7

Wrap each piece of rhubarb with a portion of the dough, sealing it completely to form a dumpling. Place the dumplings seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

Step 8

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Pour the sugar syrup evenly over the rhubarb dumplings in the baking dish.

Step 10

Sprinkle an additional pinch of cinnamon over the top for extra flavor, if desired.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the syrup is bubbling.

Step 12

Allow the dumplings to cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
