Step 4: Add Custard and Bake Again
Remove the baked phyllo from the oven and slowly pour the custard mixture evenly over the entire surface. The liquid will seep into the folds, creating a layered texture.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 25–30 minutes, until the custard is set and the top is beautifully golden.
Step 5: Make the Syrup
In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Add floral water if desired, then let it cool slightly.
Step 6: Final Touch
Once the cake is out of the oven, immediately drizzle the warm syrup over the hot cake. You’ll hear a satisfying sizzle as the syrup is absorbed.
Let the cake rest for at least 20–30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to set perfectly.
