Teamedup Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Gelatine is gélatine and comes in feuilles rather than powder. (I have only seen it in powder form here one many many years ago.)The nappage is like a sweetened jelly that you can glaze tarts with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have bought some stuff for tarts, the glaze on the top called "nappage". Is this the same as gelatine??Nope, as TU said, nappage is like rather nasty jelly.You buy gelatine (VERY expensively in small quantities) in leaves. To use them, soak in cold water until really floppy. Then put into a mug in hot/boiling water. When melted, incorporate into your recipe as usual. I much prefer leaf gelatine to powder. For your info 1 leaf weighs arould 2-3 gms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
