  Melt the remainder of the butter. Cut the pastry sheets to fit the size of the pan you're using (we used a 29 cm diameter dish here). Lay 5 sheets into the pan and brush them with butter.

  Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of orange blossom water in a pot with the honey, and melt them together over low heat for 5 minutes.
