Ingredients

1 1/4 Cup water
3/4 Cup packed brown sugar
1/4 Cup sugar
3 Tablespoon cornstarch
3 Tablespoon butter
3 Cup sliced rhubarb
1 1/4 Cup flour
1 1/2 Teaspoon baking powder
1/4 Teaspoon salt
1/3 Cup milk
1/4 Teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

In a 2-quart microwave-safe casserole, combine water, brown sugar, 1/4 cup sugar, cornstarch and 3 tablespoons butter. Add the sliced rhubarb. Cook in the microwave, uncovered, on high for 7 to 9 minutes or until mixture is thickened and bubbly, stirring every minute. Remove, cover and keep warm. In a bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder and salt. Melt the remaining 1/4 cup butter and add to dry ingredients along with the milk. Mix until just blended. Drop batter by rounded tablespoonful into hot rhubarb mixture. Cover with waxed paper and cook in the microwave 5 to 6 minutes or until dumplings are done, giving the dish a half-turn once. Stir together the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the dumplings. Serve warm.
