Mille-feuille is not your average pancake stack. This creamy French pastry is a traditional layered no-bake cake that can be easily made. Mile-feuille cakes are basically paper-thin crepes layered with heavy cream or fruit jam. The top layers are often glazed with icing or dusted with confectioners sugar. You can even give it a make over by placing a fondant over it.
