CORN CAKES WITH AVOCADO CILANTRO SALSA RECIPE

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper, evenly distributing the finer powders among the coarser ones. In a small bowl, thoroughly whisk together the eggs, milk, and butter. Pour the wet mixture into the dry one and stir together until smooth. Stir in the corn. Cover and refrigerate to rest the batter for 30 minutes or so. Meawhile, to make the salsa, spoon the avocado into a small bowl. Toss in the salsa and with the back of a fork mash it into the avocado. Stir in the cilantro. When the batter has rested, preheat your favourite large heavy frying pan over medium heat. Pour in a splah or two of cooking oil, enough to cover the bottom of the pan with a thin film. When it's hot, spoon a large dollop of the batter into the sizzling oil. Add another spoonful near the first, leaving room for expaision. Continue with the remaining batter until the pan is full. Cook, flipping once, until the cakes are golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Top each cake with a dollop of avocado salsa. Tip: coarse cornmeal retains more nutrition and flovour than finer grinds. But because of its coarseness, it needs time to hydrate, to absorb moisture from the batter and soften-hence the 30 minutes resting time. If your pan is not big enough to cook them all at once, you can keep them warm in the oven for 20 minutes or so set the oven at 250F.

Tips:
- Use fresh corn. Fresh corn has the best flavor and will produce the most tender cakes.
- If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn. Just be sure to drain the corn well before using it.
- Add some chopped vegetables to the batter. This will add flavor and texture to the cakes. Some good options include diced bell peppers, onions, or zucchini.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will produce tough cakes.
- Cook the cakes over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
