Ingredients for 11 cartocci:
500g all-purpose flour
270ml whole milk, lukewarm

50g lard
50g sugar
8g salt
3g active dry yeast
1 medium egg
Peanut oil to taste

Custard:
500ml milk
170g sugar
120ml cream
1 vanilla bean
70g rice starch
7 eggs

Directions:

Prepare the custard, putting the milk with the vanilla bean on the stove, and bring it to a boil. Separate the yolks from the egg whites, add the sugar to the yolks and add the starch. Add it all in milk and cook. Cover the cream with plastic wrap and allow to cool. In a large bowl, put the sifted flour together with the sugar, add the whole egg and beat lightly with a fork. Dissolve the dry yeast in 125 ml of lukewarm milk and add to mixture. Add the salt with the milk and finally the melted lard. Mix together with a fork. When the dough is more compact, start kneading with your hands. Transfer the dough on a pastry board and continue to knead until you have a smooth and compact dough. It will take about 15 minutes. Place the dough in a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap, let it rise in the oven with the light on for about 2 hours. Make the cartocci by rolling them up. Deep fry, fill and coat with sugar.
