History of Cherry Popover Day

The history of English puddings dates back to the 1300s. Puddings in Yorkshire, unlike those in America, are savory and baked accompaniments to meat dishes. Traditionally, these savory puddings were served as the first course with a thick gravy. The first written record of Yorkshire pudding was in 1737 in the book “The Whole Duty of a Women,” which mentions the recipe for ‘A Dripping Pudding.’ A decade later, in 1747, “The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy” by Hannah Glasse gives a detailed recipe for Yorkshire pudding.

In the 17th century, the popover was created in America by adapting the English Yorkshire pudding recipe and renaming it. But the first written mention of the popover was in the 1850s in a letter by E.E. Stuart. She was a Catholic woman working as a political advocate to free schools and was fighting for independence when American political parties started forming and Protestants and Catholics were finding common ground in Michigan. The ‘popover’ was mentioned again in 1876 in a cookbook titled “Practical Cooking” by M.N. Henderson, this time in a recipe of how to make the treat.

During the late 1800s, the popover became increasingly popular throughout America. A food establishment called Jones Pond House in Acadia National Park became known for serving these delicious treats with tea. This tradition is still carried out today.
