Threadlike pastry's extremely seductive (6)

I believe the answer is:

filose

'threadlike' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'pastry's extremely seductive' is the wordplay.
'pastry' becomes 'filo' (I've seen this before).
'extremely' means to remove the middle letters (extreme, outside letters only).
'seductive' with its middle taken out is 'se'.
'filo'+'se'='FILOSE'

(Another definition for filose that I've seen is " Threadlike".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
