Why National Raspberry Popover Day?

Also known by the name of Raspberry Tarts, the Raspberry Popovers are very similar to the Yorkshire pudding and are a delectable dish to savor. You can have these popovers in both a sweet and savory combination depending on how you like them. Popovers get their name for their unique characteristic of popping over the baking pan and they are generally made with salt, butter, milk, and eggs.

While popovers can be had in any flavor, the raspberries add that extra sweetness you would love to have with your meal. The raspberries are a wonderful addition to any dish and these raspberry popovers are a testimony. These are primarily enjoyed during breakfast to provide the necessary energy to push through the day.
