Feuilletine, or pailleté feuilletine, is a crispy confection made from thin, sweetened crêpes. The crêpe batter is baked for a few minutes, and the crêpes are allowed to cool; as they cool, they become crisp.
What is Paillete?
The original French biscuit crunch. This crumbly mixture of crushed original French 'gauffres dentelles' is ready to add a light crisp to your pralinés and giandujas. You can also mix it with tempered chocolate to add a crunchy interior to bonbons, pastries and desserts.
What can I use instead of feuilletine?
What Can I Substitute for It? Believe it or not, corn flakes will give you that crispity crunchety that feuilletine gives with no more effort than running out to the store (or maybe reaching up into your cupboard). I use crushed cornflakes to add crispy crunch to my homemade butterfinger recipe.
