Preparation method
- Mix the condensed milk, table cream, corn starch, vanilla, and 120 ml of milk in a saucepan, heating until thickened, then 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 a smooth dough is achieved
- Add the wheat flour little by little, 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 baking tray, and let them rise again for another 20 minutes
- Fry the balls in hot oil over medium heat until they are evenly golden on all sides
- Allow the doughnuts to cool, cut 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 filling in advance so it is firm enough by the time you are ready to fill the doughnuts.
For a perfect result, ensure the oil is not too hot when frying, which prevents the center from remaining raw. A dusting of sugar on top provides the final touch that everyone loves.
