Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
In a large saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, water, and lemon zest. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
-
Reduce the heat to low and let the rhubarb mixture cook gently for about 5-7 minutes, or until the rhubarb is softened but still holds its shape. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
-
Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Pour in the milk and stir until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Return the rhubarb mixture to medium heat and bring it back to a simmer.
-
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop the dumpling mixture onto the simmering rhubarb mixture. You should get about 8-10 dumplings.
-
Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the dumplings steam for about 10-12 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through.
-
Once the dumplings are cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
-
Serve the warm rhubarb dumplings with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a truly indulgent treat.
