Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together milk and eggs; set aside.

  3. In a large skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Fill an ice cream scoop 1/2 full with corn cake batter and gently place batter into hot oil. Repeat with remaining batter. Fry cakes 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove cooked cakes to a paper towel lined plate.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, cilantro, and lime juice. {If your limes are really juicy you will only need one, if not use two limes.} Set aside.

To Assemble:
