Wentelteefje
‘Wentelteefjes' literally translated in English is ‘Turning Bitches’. Where does the name come from and what are they called elsewhere? The old Dutch word ' Wentelteefjes ' can indeed be traced back. 'Wentel' comes from the word 'turn around', so to turn around. 'Teefje' is a word that used to be used as the predecessor of the word 'pastry'
