Prepare the phyllo dough by thawing it according to package instructions.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.

Layer sheets of phyllo dough in a baking dish, brushing each layer with melted butter.

Sprinkle a mixture of chopped nuts and sugar between layers of phyllo dough.

Continue layering until all ingredients are used, finishing with phyllo on top.

Cut the layered pastry into diamond shapes using a sharp knife.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30-40 minutes.

While baking, combine sugar, water, and honey in a pot; bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.

Remove the pastry from the oven and immediately pour the syrup over it.

Let the sweets cool completely to absorb the syrup.

Garnish with additional nuts or coconut flakes before serving.
