History of National Blueberry Popover Day
A popover is a quick bread baked using egg batter — consisting of eggs, milk, flour, and salt. It is baked in small pans that are tall and separated from one another, to provide even heat distribution. When baked, they form airy rolls that puff up, popping over the edge of the tin. On the outside, they’re light and crispy, but on the inside, they’re warm and often hollow.
Blueberry popover first gained popularity in America in the 19th century, and it has only grown in popularity since then, spreading to other countries throughout the world. Portland popover pudding is one of its versions, and it’s cooked with garlic and herbs, with additional American adaptations including pumpkin puree in place of some of the flour and the inclusion of spices like nutmeg.
When making popovers, combining room temperature eggs and milk yields the finest results — a thin batter with ample air to rise when baked. The steam expands the batter more, causing it to puff up and pop over the tin. The egg protein keeps the pastry in form, and the crust ultimately becomes flaky and golden.
Blueberry popovers are a delicious breakfast option that may also be served with your favorite drinks for lunch or dinner. They are transformed into delectable savory buns by the addition of herbs and meat. However, they are best served with blueberries on the inside for a scrumptious treat.
