Rhubarb Dumplings

2 Tbls. butter
1/3 - 1/2 cup sugar
2 cups diced fresh rhubarb
dash of salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 cups boiling water
2 Cups Bisquick

Combine butter, sugar, rhubarb, salt, cinnamon, and boiling water in a skillet. Bring to a boil - reduce heat - simmer 5 minutes.
Prepare dumplings, using 2 cups of Bisquick.
Drop over sauce. Cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes on low heat.
Cover and steam gently for 15 minutes longer (do not open cover).
Remove from heat. Serve warm.

This dish is one of my ultimate comfort foods. Its good as a main course, a dessert or just because.... hot or cold... it's YUMMY! And I suspect it's choc full of vitamin C and it is rumoured to have mysterious cathartic powers. This is another recipe that was handed down from my mom. If there was going to be an official "Dombek Family Food"... this could be it!
