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.

This recipe is very easy and a perfect way to use rhubarb. I used frozen chopped rhubarb, the down side was it was it was too wet. If you use frozen rhubarb I would recommend to really allow for the water to be removed from the frozen rhubarb maybe even place the thawed rhubarb in a dry cloth to remove some of the excess water before placing it in the recipe. One small change, I also used half whole wheat pastry flour which turned out nice. I also only cut my dough into 8 slices.

My mom made rhubarb dumplings every spring when I was growing up...and this version is so much easier...and they still taste like Mom's!

I would suggest cutting into 6 pieces and put in an 8x8 pan. It is really hard to cut the roll with the chopped rhubarb inside into 1 inch slices. I reduced the amount of sugar and water in the sauce and added some rhubarb syrup instead to increase the rhubarb taste.

We absolutely love this recipe. I have been making it every year since it first appeared in Taste of Home back in 1993. I cut the recipe out and used it every time but it's getting tattered so now I'm printing off a new copy. My entire family loves this dessert.

This is a great recipe. I made 3 pans for work and they were gone in less than 30 minutes with requests for the recipe.
