What a horrible murder of a wonderful pastry! Mille-feuilles are made with
puff pastry.

Mille-feuilles are a type of pastry consisting of two thin sheets of pastry
laid on top of each other like a sandwich with jam and cream spread on the
inside and a thin layer of icing (usually lemon icing) on top.

The word mille-feuille means thousand leaves in French
