History of National Raspberry Pop Over Day
Yorkshire Pudding is an English baked batter dish that emerged in Yorkshire in the 1600s. By the late 1850s, it began to appear in the early Americas as Popovers. In 1876, “The Practical Cooking” cookbook published the first known recipe for the popover.
Historically, the popover owes its survival and place in society to its simple recipe using cost-effective ingredients. Made for anyone and by anyone, the popover has established itself in households with different incomes and backgrounds. In almost every New England state, the popover has its own story and recipe, with slight variations and additions to the mixture that make it unique to its city or state. The popover is a well-loved dish and can be served alone or with anything. Its distinct ingredients allow people to enjoy them with a savory or sweet filling.
What primarily helped the popularity and sustainability of the popover were and to a large extent still is, the ease of making it. Ingredients are readily available and accessible, as was the case during the American Civil War. Thus, the popover managed to survive a civil war. Although it’s most popular in New England states, over the last few decades, it has become increasingly sought after worldwide.

National Raspberry Pop Over Day FAQs
When is National Raspberry Pop Over Day?
In 2027, National Raspberry Pop Over Day is observed on Monday, May 3. This mid-week observance provides a sweet start to the work week or a delightful evening dessert.
What is a popover?
Popovers are a unique American pastry, distinct from muffins or quick breads due to their high egg content and the way they steam and puff up dramatically in the oven. They are typically baked in special popover pans or muffin tins, resulting in their characteristic tall, airy shape.
What's the difference between a popover and Yorkshire pudding?
The key distinction lies in their traditional serving. Yorkshire pudding is a staple of British roast dinners, absorbing the rich flavors of the meat. Popovers, on the other hand, are a more versatile American creation, frequently enjoyed as a breakfast item with sweet fillings like raspberries, or as a lighter bread roll with dinner.
How do you make a popover 'pop'?
The secret to a successful popover lies in the cold ingredients and hot pan. Using cold milk and eggs, and preheating the popover pan in the hot oven before adding the batter, creates a thermal shock that encourages the popover to puff up quickly and develop its characteristic airy texture.
