Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients in local grocery stores, supermarkets, and specialty food shops. Fresh yeast can typically be found in the refrigerated section near the dairy products, while wheat flour, condensed milk, and table cream are pantry staples.
Preparation method
- Mix the condensed milk, table cream, cornstarch, vanilla, and 120 ml of milk in a saucepan, heating over medium heat until thickened, then set aside to cool
- Whisk the egg whites until stiff in a large bowl 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
- Gradually add the wheat flour, kneading by hand until the dough is smooth and comes away completely from your fingers
- Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for 20 minutes so it increases in volume
- 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 evenly golden on all sides
- Let the doughnuts cool down, slice them in half, fill with the chilled cream, and finish by dusting sugar on top
Observations
The sonho is an indispensable 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 firm enough by the time you are ready to fill the doughnuts.
For a perfect result, ensure the oil is not too hot when frying, preventing the center from remaining raw. The dusting of sugar on top provides the final touch that everyone loves.
