Where to find ingredients
Find fresh produce and dairy products at your local supermarket's chilled section. Fresh yeast can typically be found in the refrigerated aisle or at a local bakery.
Preparation method
- Mix the condensed milk, table cream, cornstarch, vanilla, and 120 ml of milk in a saucepan, heating until it thickens, then set aside to cool
- Beat the egg whites into stiff peaks in a large bowl and add the warm milk with the already dissolved yeast
- Add the boiled and mashed potatoes, butter, and salt, mixing well until you obtain a homogeneous dough
- Add the wheat flour little by little, kneading with your hands until the dough is smooth and releases completely from your fingers
- Cover the dough and let it rest in a draft-free spot for 20 minutes so it increases in volume
- Shape the dough into small balls, place them on a tray, and let them proof again for another 20 minutes
- Fry the balls in hot oil over medium heat until they are evenly golden on all sides
- Wait for the fried dough to cool, cut them in half, fill with the cooled custard, and finish by dusting sugar over the top
Observations
The Sonho is an essential classic in Brazilian confectionery. The secret to this recipe lies in the dough made with boiled potatoes, which ensures an extremely soft and light texture. Prepare the custard in advance so it is well-set when it comes time to fill. 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.
