- ½ cup cornmeal
- ¼ cup red onion minced
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
- 2 teaspoons salt more to taste
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- 2 large egg lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- neutral cooking oil for frying, generic cooking oil
For the relish:

- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro minced
- lime juice of half a lime
- 1 teaspoons olive oil

Instructions
- To make the corn cakes:
- Shuck the corn and rinse. Cut the corn from the cob into a large bowl. Place 2 cups of the corn into the food processor and pulse until slightly pureed, but still somewhat chunky. Return to the bowl with the remaining corn.
- Add the flour, corn meal, onion, cilantro, salt, baking powder, and cayenne. Stir to combine.
- Add the eggs, milk, and butter and stir until just combined.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan and heat until it's sizzling hot.
- Scoop golf ball sized spoonfuls of batter into the hot pan, about 4 or 5 per batch. Fry about 2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel lined dish.
- Serve warm with the relish spooned over the top.
- To make the relish:
- To make the relish, combine all of the ingredients into a small bowl, except for the avocado. Stir to combine.
- Add the avocado and stir gently, trying not to break up the avocado too much.
- Taste and season with salt.
