Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees F.
- While that heats, pulse corn several times in a food processor until coarse chunks form - you don't want puree.
- Transfer the corn to a large bowl and combine with flour, cornmeal, baking powder, soda, sugar, salt and pepper to taste. Add eggs and milk and whisk until just combined.
- Pre-heat a splash of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.Once hot, drop batter by tablespoonfuls into the skillet, but be careful not to over-crowd the pan or they won't cook properly.
- Cook 1 - 2 minutes per side until golden brown and transfer to a cookie sheet to keep warm in your oven until all the cakes are ready to be served.
- For the salsa, combine all the ingredients in a bowl just before serving and mix well.
- Serve cakes topped with the salsa.
- Eat.
