This is almost the same as the recipe I got in the original Laura Secord Canadian Cook Book, 43 years ago, as a wedding present. It is still one of my best bibles.  At the time I was astounded that pancakes and tea biscuits were so simple.  Why buy a mix just for blended flour  and baking powder.  You still have to add all the wet ingredients.  What I like about this sort of recipe, you can either add more flour, or milk, to make the end result thicker or thinner.  Quick, easy and economical.  Extra additions tailor  the recipe to  individual tastes and occasions, but first you need  a good foundation, and this recipe provides it.
      While our three sons and all their friends were around, I would double, even quadruple the recipe.  Whatever didn't get devoured, i would cook up, and stack on a plate in the refrigerator. .  The boys just zapped them in the microwave for a quick breakfast during the week, or for a fast snack after school.
