1 garlic clove, minced
Juice of 1/2 lime

To make corn cakes: Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line baking sheet with brown paper bag. Cut corn from cobs into a large bowl, and scrape the stripped cobs with the back of the knife (or a spoon) to release juices into bowl.
Place 2 cups corn kernels into a food processor, and pulse several times, until corn is slightly pureed but still chunky. Scrape into bowl with the remaining corn kernels. Add flour, cornmeal, onion, basil, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pepper to the corn. Stir to mix. Add eggs, buttermilk and butter, and stir just to combine; do not overmix.
