Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at your local neighborhood market or supermarket. Look for the produce section for the potatoes and the dairy aisle for the milk, butter, and cream. If fresh yeast is unavailable, active dry yeast can be used as a substitute following package instructions.
Preparation method
- Mix the condensed milk, the cream, the cornstarch, the vanilla and the 120 ml of milk in a pan, heating over medium heat 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 cooked and mashed potatoes, the butter and the salt, mixing well until you obtain a homogeneous dough
- Add the wheat flour gradually, kneading with your hands until the dough is smooth and completely detaches 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 again for another 20 minutes
- Fry the balls in hot oil over medium heat until they are golden brown on all sides
- Wait for the doughnuts to cool down, cut them in half, fill with the chilled cream and finish by dusting sugar on top
Observations
The sonho 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 firm enough when it comes time to fill the doughnuts. For perfect results, ensure the oil is not too hot when frying, which prevents the center from remaining raw. The dusting of sugar on top provides the finishing touch that everyone loves.
