Worked well! We needed far more flour as the tortilla was very sticky at first, though.

Now, if only we can get them vaguely circular…

Hi! Feel free to pop round any time for help with your tortillas, although I’m sure you won’t need it, they’re easy peesy. Mexican for next house meal sounds top. Yum! See you soon x

What a great website, and cracking idea! I’m definitely going to have a go at this I love tortillas, I’m inspired. I’m not the best cook, (Jon’s fab) so I might be banging on your door with flour in my hair begging help! Maybe next house meal we could have a mexican theme?

I have been making wraps, bread, pizzas, tortillas and tomato sauce thanks to Leanne and Andy giving me and my daughter lessons. I can not believe that its so cheap to make and easy, unfortunately it may cost me more because the family are really enjoying the cooking and eating more. yum yum

Really looking forward to Friday night as it will be curry night at L & A’s no cooking for me yeah!!!!!

Massive thank you for helping out over the last few weeks with the little ones and am really looking forward to a child free weekend this week.

I made tortillas with your recipe and added a few fennel seeds to act as flatbreads with our curry tonight.

They were delicious.

Thanks for the tip leanne!

That’s brilliant!

We’ll be round for your bread making lessons some time in the next few days. You’ll have your own bread delivery business by the end of the year, I can see it now, “Rowley’s Rolls”…

BTW, what are you doing up at 2.30 hey??! Shhh, I won’t tell anyone…

Yeah, I think they’ll work just fine with normal plain flour.

Looking at other recipes for flour tortillas most seem to include some sort of fat so you may want to try adding some to see what difference it makes. (I was thinking maybe butter or perhaps some olive oil?).
I’m guessing doing so will add to the flavour of them and possibly also make them a little softer.

Baking powder is another ingredient which seems common in such recipes – again I think this will make them softer and lighter.
