\"corn<\/a>3 large ears of corn, shucked
\n1 cup all-purpose flour
\n\u00c2\u00bd cup cornmeal
\n\u00c2\u00bc cup red onion, finely diced
\n\u00c2\u00bc cup thinly sliced fresh basil
\n1 tsp. baking powder
\n\u00c2\u00bd tsp. baking soda
\nCoarse salt and freshly ground pepper
\n2 large eggs, lightly beaten
\n2 tbsp. buttermilk
\n2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
\nCanola or vegetable oil, for frying
\nFor the relish:
\n1 large tomato, cored and chopped
\n1 scallion, minced
\n1 tbsp. minced fresh basil
\n1 clove garlic, minced
\nJuice of half a lime
\n1\u00c2\u00bd tsp. olive oil
\n1\u00c2\u00bd tsp. white wine vinegar
\nCoarse salt and freshly ground pepper
\n1 ripe avocado, pitted and diced
\nRanch dressing, for serving (optional)<\/p>\n

Cut the corn kernels off of the cobs and place in a large bowl. Place 2 cups of the corn kernels in the food processor and pulse several times, until the corn is slightly pureed but still chunky. Scrape the mixture into the bowl with the remaining corn kernels. Add the flour, cornmeal, onion, basil, baking powder, and baking soda to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to mix well. Add the eggs, buttermilk, and butter, and stir just to combine.
\nTo make the salsa, combine all of the ingredients except the avocado in a medium bowl and mix well to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 2 days. Just before serving, mix in the avocado. Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add just enough oil to barely cover the bottom of the pan and heat until sizzling hot. Scoop the batter into the skillet a heaping tablespoon at a time, cooking the cakes in batches of 4 or 5 so that they are not touching. Fry 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer the cooked cakes to a wire rack and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve immediately topped with the relish and drizzled with ranch dressing, if desired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
