Word History and Origins

Origin of teiglach¹

< Yiddish teyglekh, plural of teygl, diminutive of teyg dough < Middle High German teig, Old High German teic

Example Sentences

Optional — and not traditional, but I like the texture: Add whole roasted almonds or other roasted nuts to the pot after the teiglach are done cooking, so the nuts cling to them in the syrup.
