A small crumb or fragment, particularly a tiny piece of bread, pastry, or other food.
From 'crumb' with the diminutive suffix '-let,' which creates names for smaller versions of things. This is a somewhat archaic or dialectal term.
Adding '-let' to make tiny versions of things is super common in English—we do it with ankle, booklet, leaflet—so 'crumlet' is the adorable way to say 'teeny tiny crumb'!
