Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at your local neighborhood grocery store. Look for fresh yeast in the refrigerated dairy or bakery section, and ensure you use high-quality, full-fat milk and cream for the best filling texture.
Preparation method
- Mix the condensed milk, table cream, cornstarch, vanilla, and 120 ml of milk in a pan, heating until thickened, then set aside to cool
- Beat the egg whites until stiff in a large bowl and add the lukewarm milk with the dissolved yeast
- Add the boiled and mashed potatoes, butter, and salt, mixing well until the dough is homogeneous
- Gradually add the wheat flour, kneading by hand until the dough is smooth and pulls away completely from your fingers
- Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for 20 minutes 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 they are evenly golden on all sides
- Let the doughnuts cool down, cut them in half, fill with the chilled cream, and finish by dusting sugar over them
Observations
The sonho is an essential classic in Brazilian confectionery. The secret to this recipe lies in the dough prepared with boiled potatoes, which ensures an extremely soft and light texture. Prepare the cream in advance so it is firm enough by the time you 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 the finishing touch that everyone loves.
