Sour Milk Koeksisters

Have you made Sour Milk Koeksisters before? I assisted with baking regular koeksisters back in South Africa for big events, then we made up to 144 dozen or sometimes more.  We worked in teams as it took us two days to start, preparing the dough, and syrup and setting up.  The second day we worked in sets of two to four people that manned a station.
