Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local supermarkets such as Choppies or Sefalana. Ensure you purchase fresh yeast from the refrigerated section and high-quality wheat flour for the best dough results.
Preparation method
- Mix the condensed milk, table cream, corn starch, vanilla, and 120 ml of milk in a pan, heating until it thickens, then set aside to cool
- Beat the egg whites into stiff peaks in a large bowl and add the 240 ml of warm milk with the dissolved yeast
- Add the mashed potatoes, butter, and salt, mixing well until a homogeneous dough is formed
- Gradually add the wheat flour, kneading by hand until the dough is smooth and no longer sticks to your fingers
- Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for 20 minutes to allow it to rise
- Shape the dough into small balls, place them on a tray, and let them proof again for another 20 minutes
- Fry the balls in hot oil over medium heat until they are evenly golden on all sides
- Wait for the dough to cool, slice in half, fill with the chilled cream, and finish by dusting sugar over the top
Observations
The 'sonho' is an essential classic in Brazilian confectionery. The secret to this recipe is the dough made with mashed boiled potatoes, which ensures an extremely soft and light texture. Prepare the cream filling in advance so it is well-set when it comes time to fill the pastries. For a perfect result, ensure the oil is not too hot when frying, which prevents the center from remaining raw. A dusting of sugar on top provides the finishing touch that everyone loves.
