Os sonhos tiveram origem na
doçaria conventual regional devido ao aumento da produção e comércio da cana-de-açúcar na ilha da Madeira nos séculos XV e XVI. A cana-de-açúcar é colhida na primavera,
as canas são esmagadas e é extraido o açúcar, formando posteriormente, o mel de
cana-de-açúcar que é o "molho/ melaça" que acompanha este doce.
Ingredientes:
·
300 g de farinha
·
50 g de banha (pode ser substituído
com manteiga ou margarina)
·
7 ovos
·
2,5 dl de leite
·
2,5 dl de água
·
1 casca de limão
·
sal q.b.
·
Mel de cana – Madeira (opcional)
Levar
ao lume uma panela com água, o leite, a banha (margarina ou manteiga), a casca
de limão e o sal. Deixar ferver durante 1 minuto e retirar do fogo. Adicionar a
farinha pouco a pouco e misturar muito bem. Colocar de novo no fogo e mexer até
a massa descolar do fundo. Deixar arrefecer. Juntar um ovo de cada vez,
amassando bem até obter uma massa fofinha. Numa fritadeira, aquecer bem o óleo
e deitar colheradas de massa. Deixar fritar lentamente os sonhos até alourar.
Escorrer em papel absorvente. Bom apetite!

Sonhos (English version)
A little bit of history: This sweet "sonhos" - you can translate it literally as "dreams" because they are fluffy - originated in the convents in Madeira islands - Portugal, due to increased production and trade of sugar cane in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The sugar cane is harvested in the spring, the canes are crushed, the sugar is extracted, and subsequently we have the production of molasses - is like a black honey made of sugar- that is the "sauce" of this sweet.
