Product Features

• The name Hush Puppies came from slave days. When the maid would be taking fresh biscuits or cornbread from the kitchen, which was always built away from the main house, the dogs would be running and jumping and trying to get a taste.
• You would say, "Hush up little puppy, Hush puppy." Well, who wouldn't want to eat these flavorful, crunchy, fried cornmeal fritters?

Sylvia's Hush Puppy Mix is the best mix I have ever tried. Just have to add a little onion and maybe jalepeno's and they are really good.

Great!!! Takes the guess work out of remembering a recipe to share with others. You can doctor it up and add bell pepper,onion & 1/2 cup of extra flour for a delightful appetizer. All my shrimpers love it!
