Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients in the dairy, baking and produce aisles of local supermarkets. If you cannot find fresh yeast, you can use active dry yeast as a substitute by adjusting the quantity according to the package instructions.
Preparation method
- Mix the condensed milk, table cream, cornstarch, vanilla and the 120 ml of milk in a pan, bringing it to the heat until it thickens, then set aside to cool
- Beat the egg whites until stiff in a large bowl and add the warm milk with the already dissolved yeast
- Add the cooked and mashed potatoes, butter and salt, mixing well until a homogeneous dough is obtained
- Add the wheat flour little by little, kneading by hand until the dough is smooth and comes off your fingers completely
- Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for 20 minutes so that it rises
- Shape the dough into small balls, place them on a tray and let them rise again for another 20 minutes
- Fry the balls in hot oil over medium heat until they are golden brown on all sides
- Wait for the doughnuts to cool, cut them in half, fill with the chilled cream and finish by dusting sugar on top
Observations
The sonho is an essential classic in Brazilian pastry. The secret to this recipe is the dough made with cooked potatoes, which ensures an extremely soft and light texture. Prepare the cream in advance so it is nice and firm when you are ready to fill the doughnuts.
For a perfect result, make sure the oil is not too hot while frying, to prevent the center from remaining raw. The dusting of sugar on top provides the finishing touch that everyone loves.
