Cook bacon strips on the griddle and roughly chop them up. Leave the grease for later use.
In a mixing bowl, add chopped bacon, corn, flour, egg, cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapenos, lime zest and freshly squeezed lime juice, Dad's Taco seasoning and All Purpose rub. For an additional kick, I added hot sauce. Mix the ingredients together.
In a bottle, combine ranch dressing, garlic paste and your choice of hot sauce. Shake the ingredients together.
Add a scoop of corn fritter batter on the greased up griddle. Gently press down on the batter to flatten the fritters into a pancake.
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Remove the corn fritters from the griddle and finish with the spicy garlic ranch sauce. Enjoy!
