Cut out a 3cm (1.2 inches) baking sheet larger than the size of your pan, mine is 23x23cm (9x 9 inches), so I cut a 10-11-inch square sheet.
Put it on a work surface, brush it with a little butter, lay a sheet of phyllo, and way brush it again with melted butter and continue until you finish the 8 phyllo sheets.
Once everything is finished, place them in the oven pan.
Pour the ricotta cream in the center, spreading it evenly over the entire surface.
At this point, with scissors, cut the phyllo paste along the edges rounding the corners, so as to leave only 1-2 cm (0.6 inches) of the edge, a measure that allows the phyllo to be folded over the ricotta without creating too much of a thick layer.
Still, on the work surface, place one more baking sheet this time of the same size as the pan, continuing the same procedure as before, butter the 7 sheets of phyllo.
Once you have finished this operation with the scissors, slightly round the edges to eliminate the tip of the corners and then lay the 7 phyllo sheets on the ricotta by removing the baking sheet that helped you turn the 7 phyllo sheets upside down on the surface of the cream.
Everything must be perfectly arranged: the phyllo must be folded correctly and the edge of the cake must be perfect.
If you have some butter left, brush the surface well.
Bake for 25-30 minutes at a temperature of 176.7°C (350°F) until pastry is crisp and golden brown.
Once the dessert is cooked, take it out of the oven and sprinkle the whole surface including the corners up to the ends with the orange-lemon syrup remembering that it is essential to leave aside a good quantity to use when serving the dessert.
Let cool and serve.
