Description
Pailleté Feuilletine are essentially the 'broken leaves' of a very thin, crispy crêpe; the crêpe is cooked, allowed to cool, and then broken into tiny pieces. Before becoming Pailleté Feuilletine, they're known as Crêpes Gavottes or Crêpes Dentelles. While they have a slightly buttery, sugary flavour, they tend to be used more for their crispy texture, often used to incite textural variations into pralines, pastries and mousses.
