About 'British' pancakes .. it's not really a very popular food in the UK. I remember I went to a 'Dutch pancake house' restaurant in Manchester many moons ago. Maybe Jasper has a comment on that

Traditionally, we eat pancakes on Shrove Tuesday ('Pancake Day'), and usually we have lemon juice and sugar on them. But I don't really know if that tradition is very popular any more, I remember it from my childhood.

As to blinchiki with apple and honey, that sounds really good too.. I remember having them with apple and chocolate sauce once in Izhevsk, it was really good..

A final note: I can't believe nobody has tried to make a блин pun yet :P
