Method :

For preparing Custard : 

 

On the counter, take a pan add all ingredients listed for custard . Mix them well . Take it on to the stove to and Switch on the heat . Cook it for 5 mins stirring it continuously . When you think it became thick and done , take it off from heat. Pour it into a bowl and cover it. Keep it aside.

For  preparing Dough :

Warm the milk (Don't heat the milk, if milk is too hot, the yeast will die.). 

Add yeast , sugar, vanilla, egg and butter to the milk. Give it a good mix.

Add in flour. Make the dough. Keep it aside at least for an hour.

Once it is risen, dust some flour on the surface and roll it into a flat square of 1/2 inch thickness.

Now take the custard and spread it evenly on top of the rolled dough. Now make it like a swiss roll and then cut the log into one inch thick pieces. Cover and keep these aside for hour an hour to raise again. Give egg wash on top and sprinkle almond flakes .

In my house they felt these are less on sweet , thats why sprinkled sugar instead of almonds for second batch - so if you want to increase the sweetness , increase the amount of sugar that needs to be added in the recipe. 

Bake in preheated oven at 180 C for 35 to 40 mins Or until golden brown.

Enjoy freshly baked custard rolls hot or cold :)
