Gavottes Crepes Dentelle Biscuits 125g

The original recipe was discovered by accident in 1888 in the coastal town of Quimper, Brittany. Marie-Catherine Cornic, a local cook, unintentionally left one of her thin crêpes on the stove for too long. She folded and rolled the overcooked crêpe rather than discarding it, creating a surprisingly airy, crunchy bite. Delighted by the delicate layers and melt-in-the-mouth texture, she unknowingly gave birth to what would become the beloved Crêpe Dentelle. Over a century later, Gavottes has refined the production method, but the spirit of this happy accident remains unchanged.

Enjoy Gavottes biscuits in many ways:

• savour them as a light sweet treat alongside tea or coffee,
• crumble them over ice cream to add flavour and texture, or
• incorporate them into desserts for an elegant touch. Their fine flakes, known as pailleté feuilletine, bring a delicate crunch to mousses, creams and pralines.

Each 125g box contains 24 (12 x 2) wrapped Gavottes biscuits, perfect for sharing or gifting.
