cup water  
cups flour  
tablespoon baking powder  
2 tablespoons sugar

Heat oven to 450º. Mix rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, and water in 9" square pan or large  
casserole. Cook 5 minutes. Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Stir in  
oil and milk only until dry ingredients are moistened. Drop by spoonfuls onto hot fruit,  
making 9 biscuits. Make a hole in top of each biscuit and put a little butter, sugar, and  
cinnamon in each. Bake 20-25 minutes. Serve warm. Works well to bake while eating  
dinner, then have warm for dessert.

½
cup sugar with fruit. Omit ½ cup water.
