It's from Tartine's first book.

You should know that the difficulty level is high. Took me about a dozen times of finessing to get it right. Good luck!

Is this the book? https://www.amazon.com/Tartine-Elisabeth-M-Prueitt/dp/0811851508

I've never been able to understand what people mean when they talk about the butter slab matching the consistency of the dough. How pliable do they need to be? Once the butter is folded in, how do you judge its consistency? And finally, what rolling technique do you use so that you don't break up the butter?

Oooh. I would suggest some fancy ingredients like some Nielsen Massey vanilla paste (I have the gigantic 1 quart size myself and it's pretty much my favorite thing ever) or some Valrhona cocoa powder or feves (fancy chocolate chips). Some high quality measuring cups like these ones from All Clad would probably make her over the moon (as others have said, you can never have enough measuring cups and spoons, and heavy-weighted ones like those are a delight to use). You can round out your gift with a few cookbooks you think she might like -- some suggestions are the Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook (since you mentioned she makes lots of cupcakes), the Tartine Cookbook (I love this one), and Rose Levy Berenbaum's Cake Bible or Heavenly Cakes.

Tartine.

By far my favorite baking/pastry book in my young life. :)

The recipes are so versatile, detailed and simple that it works for just about everything!

The microplane fine grater is one of my favorite tools. Finely grated lemon zest makes so many things super delicious. It's good for grating a little cinnamon or nutmeg into a baking project as well.

I use my fine sieve frequently for baking as well, like when I have to strain pastry cream to help it cool down or get the seeds out of raspberries.

Another favorite baking "gadget" is the cake strip - it prevents the cake from puffing up in the middle. Otherwise you have to cut off a fair sized chunk in order to stack it in layers.

My ultimate baking cookbook is Tartine bakery's - they are great at explaining complicated techniques and everything turns out fantastic.

Tartine is a pastry book \^_^. As for what I want to make, I don't know yet. I'm going to be spending the next few days going over my current cook books and compiling a list.

I spelled caramelized wrong, oops.

Recipe
The tart shell and pastry cream recipes are from the Tartine cookbook. Both seem fairly standard (I don't want to copy from the cookbook!). I used sweet vanilla pastry cream but made it with half and half instead of whole milk.

Cut the figs in half, dipped the cut side in sugar, and caramelized them on the stove for about 5 minutes each. Set them in a bowl to cool. Then poured 3 tablespoons of bourbon in the fig drippings, about 1 tablespoon of honey, and 2 tablespoons of butter and cooked it down until it was a little thick.

Assembly: 1 cool tart shell, filled about 3/4 full with cold pastry cream, topped with figs, and served the bourbon sauce on the side to prevent sogginess. The bourbon sauce made the tart, it really isn't the same without it.

A little heavy for summer but just got the tart pan and figs were $6 at costco, so...yeah.

This is my first time ever posting on Reddit. Anyway, I am going to try the challenge this year since I usually bring baked goods to work every two weeks anyway. These Chocolate Friands are from the Tartine book, and the recipe for the Friands can also be found on this site. Not the best looking things I've made lately since I utterly failed at properly greasing the mini muffin pans today, but they are a really fudgy brownie like cupcake. I would definitely make them again.
