This is not a British pie. The pastry is denser and holds its shape in the hand, and the filling is thickened until almost dry so the base never goes soggy.
Method
Rub the butter in cold and stop early
Coarse breadcrumbs with visible butter flecks. Add ice water a little at a time until it just comes together. Chill 30 minutes.
