Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients in the baking aisle and dairy section of any well-stocked local supermarket. For the fresh yeast, check the refrigerated section near the pre-made pizza doughs. If unavailable, you can substitute it with dry active yeast using a 3:1 ratio (approx. 17g).
Preparation method
- Mix the condensed milk, heavy 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 until stiff in a large bowl and add the warm milk with the dissolved yeast
- Add the boiled and mashed potatoes, butter, and salt, mixing well until the dough is homogeneous
- Gradually add the 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 rise
- Shape the dough into small balls, place them on a tray, and let them rise again for another 20 minutes
- Fry the dough 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 with sugar
Observations
The sonho is an essential classic in Brazilian pastry. The secret to this recipe is the dough made with mashed boiled potatoes, which ensures an extremely soft and light texture. Prepare the pastry cream in advance so that it is firm enough when it comes time to fill the doughnuts. For a perfect result, ensure the oil is not too hot while frying to prevent the center from remaining raw. The dusting of sugar on top provides the finishing touch that everyone loves.
