Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at local Ugandan markets and supermarkets. Look for fresh produce sections for potatoes, dairy aisles for milk, butter, and cream, and the baking section for wheat flour, cornstarch, and yeast.
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 in a large bowl and add the 240 ml of warm milk with the dissolved yeast
- Add the boiled and mashed potatoes, 30 ml of butter, and the salt, mixing well until a homogeneous dough is formed
- Add the wheat flour little by little, kneading by hand until the dough is smooth and releases completely from your fingers
- Cover the dough and let it rest in a draft-free place for 20 minutes to rise
- Shape the dough into small balls, place them on a tray, and let them rise again for 20 minutes
- Fry the balls in hot oil over medium heat until they are evenly golden on all sides
- Wait for the dough to cool, slice them in half, fill with the cooled cream, and finish by dusting with sugar on top
Observations
The 'sonho' is an essential classic in Brazilian confectionery. The secret to this recipe is the dough made 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, preventing the center from remaining raw. The dusting of sugar on top provides the final touch that everyone loves.
