You have fish pies, meat pies - no idea what you call dessert pies.
Maybe that's what a pudding pie is? Apparently Americans demand
precision. I suspect it's because we didn't have generations of older
folk to depend on for guidance, so we want measurements rather than
general terms like "a knob of butter". We are just babes in the woods
that need precise directions because the person giving them won't be
at our elbow, coaching us through.
