Procedure:

For the shell dough:
mix the ingredients for the shell for about a minute in the food processor, form a ball, wrap it in cling film and leave it to rest for an hour. Melt the butter, add the oil and leave at room temperature to let it solidify, it must have the consistency of a soft cream.
Roll out the dough with the pasta machine to a single strip, passing it several times, always decreasing by one notch to the penultimate. At the exit of this spread with the butter and oil cream, literally pull the sheet a little to widen and thin again and wrap tightly. Proceed in this way for the entire length of the ribbon of dough. In the end, a thick cylinder of dough is obtained which is wrapped in cling film and placed in the fridge for 8-12 hours.

Prepare the choux pastry:
bring the water with the oil, salt and sugar to the boil, pour in all the flour, turn with a wooden spoon and cook for a few minutes until it comes off the walls and forms a ball.
Allow to cool and add the lightly beaten egg in three stages.
Take the cylinder of dough out of the fridge, cut into slices of about 1 cm and form the sfogliatelle by stretching the edges of the circle with your fingers, sliding the various layers. Put a little choux pastry filling inside with the sac a poche and close on top.
Place the lobster tails on the baking tray covered with parchment paper and bake at 190 ° C with ventilation. Cook for 25-30 minutes, halfway through cooking lower the temperature to 170 ° C. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
