Step 1
Heat butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until foaming, about 60 seconds.
Step 2
Toss pastry with your fingers to coat evenly in melted butter, then press into the skillet as a thin, even layer.
Step 3
Cook 3 minutes without stirring until the base is golden and crispy, then add shredded cheese on top.
Step 4
Cook 2 more minutes until cheese melts and edges pull away from the pan slightly.
Step 5
While it cooks, warm honey and water in a small saucepan over low heat until steaming, about 90 seconds.
Step 6
Slide künefe onto a plate, drizzle hot honey all over, scatter pistachios on top, and eat immediately.
