Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch round baking dish with a little of the melted butter.
Step 2
Brush one pastry sheet with melted butter, sprinkle with 1 tbsp sugar, and place in the dish. Repeat with remaining sheets, stacking them and brushing each with butter and sugar.
Step 3
Cut the stacked pastry into 8 wedges using a sharp knife. Bake until golden and puffed, about 20 minutes.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the honey and 2 tbsp water. Drizzle over the hot pastry and let it soak in for 5 minutes before serving.
