National Cherry Popover Day Date in the current year: September 1, 2024

Popovers can be served either with sweet or with savory toppings and fillings. Cherry popovers have fresh cherries stirred in. They can be served with cherry sauce. Sweet popovers with cherries will be perfect for breakfast or with afternoon tea.

The National Cherry Popover Day is the perfect occasion to try your hand at cooking this delicious treat. Here is an easy recipe for you to try out.

Combine 1 1/2 cups milk, 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1/2 tsp salt. Beat until smooth. Beat in 3 eggs (one at a time) and stir in 2/3 cup pitted fresh cherries. Set aside for 15 minutes.

Grease or butter 12 muffin cups and place in oven to preheat at 450 °F. Carefully remove from oven and fill each cup with batter about 3/4 full. Bake at 450 °F for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat 350 °F and continue baking until golden brown and puffed.

Having removed the popovers from the oven, carefully make a small hole in the top of each so that steam can escape.
