Ingredients
Instructions
- Make a syrup by boiling sugar and water until thin.
- Add lemon juice and butter to the syrup.
- Pour the syrup into a 9 x 12-inch pan and set aside.
- Prepare Bisquick dough as directed on the box for biscuits.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
- Arrange 3 cups of finely diced rhubarb on the dough.
- Roll up the dough like a jelly roll.
- Cut into 9 to 12 slices and place in the syrup.
- Sprinkle the slices with sugar.
- Bake at 400° to 425°F until nicely browned.
- Serve warm with cream or ice cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting half of the water with apple juice when making the syrup. If you don't have Bisquick, you can make your own baking mix by combining 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Ensure the rhubarb is finely diced to help it cook evenly and blend well with the dough.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful swirls warm, and consider pairing them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast. They also pair beautifully with a cup of tea or coffee. For a complete meal, serve alongside savory options like Macaroni And Cheese For Large Numbers(14 To 16 People) to balance the sweetness.

Store leftover Rhubarb Rosy Swirls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. This will help maintain their texture and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen rhubarb instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen rhubarb for this recipe. Just make sure to thaw it completely and drain any excess moisture before adding it to the dough to prevent it from becoming too soggy.
What can I use instead of sugar in the syrup?
You can substitute sugar with honey or agave syrup in the syrup preparation. Keep in mind that these alternatives may alter the flavor slightly, so adjust the quantity to taste.
How do I know when the swirls are done baking?
The swirls are done when they are nicely browned on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to prevent over-browning.
