Where to find ingredients
All ingredients can be sourced at local supermarkets and food markets. Look for fresh produce in the vegetable aisle for the potatoes, and find dairy and dry goods in the baking and grocery sections.
Preparation method
- Mix the condensed milk, table cream, cornstarch, vanilla, and 120 ml of milk in a saucepan, cooking over medium heat until thickened, then set aside to cool
- Beat the egg whites until stiff in a large bowl and add the warm milk with the dissolved yeast
- Incorporate 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 becomes smooth and releases completely from your fingers
- Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm, draft-free place for 20 minutes so it can gain 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
- Allow the fried dough to cool, slice them in half, fill with the cooled 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 boiled potatoes, which ensures an extremely soft and light texture. Prepare the cream filling in advance so that it is nice and firm when it comes time to fill the pastries. For a perfect result, ensure the oil is not too hot during frying, which prevents the center from remaining raw. The dusting of sugar on top provides the final touch that everyone loves.
