Preparation method
- Mix the condensed milk, heavy cream, cornstarch, vanilla, and 120 ml of milk in a saucepan, cooking over heat until thickened, then set aside to cool.
- Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form 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 formed.
- Gradually add the wheat flour, 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 place for 20 minutes to allow it to rise.
- Shape the dough into small balls, place them on a tray, and let them rise for another 20 minutes.
- Fry the balls in hot oil over medium heat until golden brown on all sides.
- Wait for the doughnuts to cool, slice them in half, fill with the chilled cream, and finish by dusting with sugar.
Observations
The sonho is an indispensable classic in Brazilian confectionery. The secret to this recipe lies in the dough made with mashed boiled potatoes, which ensures an extremely soft and light texture. Prepare the cream filling in advance so that 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 to prevent the center from remaining raw. The dusting of sugar on top provides that final touch everyone loves.
