National Raspberry Popover Day

National Raspberry Popover Day is on May 3rd in the United States.

Popovers can be either sweet or savoury, depending on what other ingredients are used, and what they are eaten with, and are made from an egg batter, related to that of the Yorkshire pudding, which is cooked in either muffin tins or popover pans - popover pans have straight sided walls. The cooked popover is a light and hollow roll.

This type of popover is a sweet dessert roll. The hollow centre of the popover is filled with the raspberries, or raspberry filling. Raspberries come in a variety of different types, although red varieties are the most common. Raspberries were originally a midsummer crop, which would make May an odd time to have them, but they are now available all year and, in the case of the raspberry fillings, are preserved anyway.
