Easy
I quartered the recipe and used strong white bread flour and these came out great, though I had to double the amount of butter. I would advise care when cooking as I cooked one for too long and it just snapped when I tried to roll it...

Well I'm the worst cook in the world and these turned out fantastic.
I realized I only had half the flour needed so I halved all the other ingredients but I stupidly used all the water so the dough was too wet, I then had to save it by mixing in corn flour. In the end I pulled it off and they were amazing so fantastic recipe, easy providing you follow it.
Can be filled with sweet or savoury filling or even taste delicious plain or with a bit of butter on them

This recipe was very easy to follow and not very time consuming, although rolling out each tortilla is more time-consuming than I'd thought, as the dough tries to spring back to its original size. However, my tortillas came out quite crispy and not very flexible - perhaps I over-cooked them? I would say golf ball size is not quite big enough.

This recipe is alright.
Maybe i didn't like it much because the tortillas didn't turn out to be like the ones that are store bought.
These turned out to be more dense but nonetheless eatable.

Stupendous, was looking for something to go with my leftover rice dish. Made a quarter recipe using Tipo 00 flour, added more butter and water than stated to get a good consistency. but that was to be expected as differentflours have varying water absorption properties. Scaled dough out at 50 grams. Used olive oil on my work surface to roll out dough paper thin. My first 2 were ok, a little flat so put the heat op to full and they balloned up great. They have a great texture.

You are aware that your instructions are reading as to mix some of the boiling water and to knead with your hands right?

Fantasticly simple, who would have thought! I am converted and will never have shop bought again. Also halved the mixture and I got about 10 large wraps.
