Method

1. To create the rum and lime syrup, heat the lime juice and sugar in a pan until the sugar dissolves. Add the rum, stir and allow to cool.
2. For the bramble cream, whip together the cream and sugar, and fold in the blackberries and mint, set aside.
3. To make the pancakes, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and caster sugar into a bowl.
4. Whisk together the milk, egg and melted butter in a separate jug.
5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and whisk until a smooth batter forms. Let the mix stand for a few minutes.
