- Beat the egg whites in a large bowl and add the warm milk with the dissolved yeast
- Add the mashed potatoes, butter, and salt, mixing well until a homogeneous dough is obtained
- Add the wheat flour gradually, 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, draft-free place for 20 minutes to rise
- Shape the dough into small balls, place them on a tray, and let them rise again for 20 minutes
- Fry the balls in hot oil over medium heat until they are evenly golden on all sides
- Allow the dough to cool, cut in half, fill with the chilled cream, and finish by dusting with sugar
Observations
The dream is an essential classic in Brazilian confectionery. 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 that it is nice and firm when you are ready to fill the pastries. For a perfect result, ensure the oil is not too hot when frying to prevent the center from remaining raw. The dusting of sugar on top provides the final touch that everyone loves.
