Where to find ingredients
Find these ingredients in local grocery stores, supermarkets, or neighborhood bakeries. Fresh yeast can typically be found in the refrigerated section near the dairy products.
Preparation method
- Mix the condensed milk, table cream, cornstarch, vanilla, and 120 ml of milk in a saucepan, cook over medium heat until thickened, and set aside to cool
- Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl and add the lukewarm milk with the previously dissolved yeast
- Add the boiled and mashed potatoes, butter, and salt, mixing well until a homogeneous dough is formed
- Gradually add the wheat flour, kneading with your hands 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 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 they are golden brown on all sides
- Wait for the pastries to cool down, cut 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 is the dough made with mashed boiled potatoes, which ensures an extremely soft and light texture. Prepare the cream in advance so it is firm enough when it comes time to fill the pastries.
For a perfect result, ensure the oil is not too hot while frying, which prevents the center from remaining raw. The dusting of sugar on top provides the final touch that everyone loves.
