When cool, slice corn off the cob. Set aside.
3

Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder.

Add the lightly beaten egg.
5

Gradually stir in the liquid (corn water or cream or milk or combo) into the flour mixture until it is not too runny (pancake texture).
6

Add the corn, jalapeno or other pepper or hot sauce, and basil or coriander to the flour mixture and combine.
7

Heat the oil in frying pan on medium high heat. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil. Flip over as the bottoms brown. Drain on paper towel or newspaper. Hold in a low oven.
8

Combine ingredients for the dip and serve with the fritters.

These can be eaten hot or cold, with or without the dip. They can also be frozen and reheated in non-stick fry pan.
