For the Buffalo Aioli: In a blender, combine the garlic, salt and yolks. Drizzle the olive oil into the blender as it mixes until the yolks begin to lighten, about 1 cup of oil is needed. At the last moment, add the hot sauce and blend to combine. Pour out the aioli and refridgerate until ready to serve.
-
For the Fritters: Combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl, stir together with a fork or whisk. There should not be any lumps of flour or masa. Fry heaping tablespoon size fritters in oil for about 45 seconds per side (watch that they don't get too dark). Hold fried fritters in a low oven until ready to serve.

To serve simply arrange the fritters on a platter with the Buffalo aioli in the center.
