National Blueberry Popover Day

National Blueberry Popover Day celebrates the blueberry version of the popover, a light and airy pastry with a crisp exterior and a soft, hollow center. Popovers are typically baked in muffin tins or special popover pans, where the batter rises and “pops over” the edges of the cups. Although popovers can be sweet or savory, this March 10 observance focuses on the subtle sweetness of blueberries, whether baked into the pastry or served with it. Learn more about the holiday and the pastry’s basic ingredients through CDKitchen’s overview.

The popover is an American version of Yorkshire pudding. An early cookbook recipe for popovers appeared in M.N. Henderson’s Practical Cooking in 1876, and the simple batter is commonly made with eggs, milk, flour, and salt. Blueberries add bursts of fruit flavor to the delicate pastry, making it a fitting breakfast or brunch treat.

How to Observe National Blueberry Popover Day

Celebrate by baking a batch of blueberry popovers at home, then enjoy them warm with family or friends. For a citrusy variation, try The Foodie Patootie’s blueberry lemon popover recipe. You can also share your finished treats—or pick up blueberry popovers from a local bakery if you would rather leave the baking to someone else.
