Step 1
Warm honey and water in a small saucepan until steaming, ~2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2
Melt 2 tbsp butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Toss half the phyllo with the butter until coated.
Step 3
Press buttered phyllo into an even layer on the skillet bottom. Cook until golden and crispy, ~3 minutes.
Step 4
Scatter shredded cheese evenly over the phyllo. Top with remaining phyllo, tossed with last 2 tbsp butter.
Step 5
Cook until top layer is golden and crispy, ~3 minutes. The cheese should start oozing at the edges.
Step 6
Carefully slide künefe onto a plate. Pour warm honey syrup over the top and scatter pistachios immediately.
