This is easier to buy but if you feel so inclined you can make them quite easily... 

- instant yeast packet, 

- flour

- water

adding two cups of warm water to a bowl and adding a packet of yeast, add enough flour until all the water is absorbed throw it on a floured surface and knead it for ten minutes till it is elastic ...

Leave this big happy ball somewhere warm to rise for at least ten minutes... then punch it down a little, knead it for a bit and leave it again for forty minutes somewhere warm, it should rise again,,, then you can divide it out into little balls and roll them out to about  half a cm. thickness and fold them over onto each other and throw them on a little oiled cooking tray and leave them again somewhere warm to rise again till they again return to the same puffy size...

now put them in the 180c oven for ten to twenty minutes turning them over a few times to coook evenly.. 

Yum yum falafel feast with pita, tzaziki, tabouleh and humus :) Happy days:)
