Rhubarb Pinwheels

Ingredients

3 cups rhubarb, cut very fine

2 ¼ cups sifted flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

⅔ cup milk

⅓ cup cream

1 ½ cups sugar

1 ¼ cups water

¼ cup sugar

Directions

Sift flour, baking powder and salt together; gradually add the milk and cream to make a stiff batter; turn onto a floured board and roll out into a rectangle ¼ inch thick. Arrange the cut rhubarb over the dough and roll up like a jelly roll. Cut in 1 ½ inch slices. Make a syrup of the 1 ½ cups of sugar and water, pour into a shallow buttered baking dish and arrange the rolls in the syrup; sprinkle with the remaining sugar and bake in a 435 oven until browned, around 20 minutes. Serves 4 to 6.
