Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at your local general grocery store. Look for fresh yeast in the refrigerated dairy or bakery section. For a substitute, you may use active dry yeast, following the package instructions for the appropriate ratio.
Preparation method
- Mix the sweetened condensed milk, table cream, cornstarch, vanilla, and 120 ml of milk in a pan, heating over medium heat until thickened, then set aside to cool.
- Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff and add the warm milk with the dissolved yeast.
- Add the boiled and mashed potatoes, butter, and salt, mixing well until you obtain a homogeneous dough.
- Add the wheat flour gradually, kneading by hand until the dough is smooth and releases completely from your fingers.
- Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for 20 minutes to rise.
- Shape the dough into small balls, place them on a tray, and let them rise again for another 20 minutes.
- Fry the dough balls in hot oil over medium heat until golden brown on all sides.
- Allow the doughnuts to cool, slice them in half, fill with the chilled cream, and finish by dusting with sugar.
Observations
The doughnut is an essential classic in Brazilian confectionery. The secret of this recipe lies in the dough made with boiled potatoes, which ensures an extremely soft and light texture. Prepare the filling in advance so that it is firm and ready to use when filling the doughnuts.
For a perfect result, make sure the oil is not too hot when frying to prevent the center from remaining raw. A light dusting of sugar on top provides the finishing touch that everyone loves.
