Use the dull side of a knife to scrape any remaining pulp into bowl; you should have about 1/2 cup grated kernels and pulp. Add cornmeal, flour, egg, buttermilk, baking soda, salt, pepper and cayenne to bowl; stir until combined.
3. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop batter by 1/4-cupfuls into skillet and press with spatula to flatten. Fry 1 to 2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and serve warm with salsa.
