Verbatim from the first edition of the Big Cookbook.

Erken's alternative method for brown bouillon: bones and root vegetables are browned and cooked into stock, the meat is browned separately and simmered tender in the stock. The bouillon is clarified or thickened with 50 g butter, 50 g flour, 2 l stock, 2 dl madeira and cayenne, and served with egg dumplings or small choux puffs.

Here Erken gives an alternative ("second") method for brown bouillon, in which bones and roots are browned and cooked into stock, while the meat is browned separately the next day and simmered tender in the stock. The bouillon can either be clarified into a consomme or thickened into a fuller soup with madeira.
Brown the bones and roots
Chop the bones small and brown them together with the cleaned root vegetables. Cook stock on them in the usual way. The meat cut from the bones is hung up until the next day.
Brown the meat
Brown the meat in a pot no larger than one in which the meat just fits. Pour off the fat once the meat is browned.
Simmer the meat tender
Pour 2.5 dl of the strained stock over the meat. Cook covered over low heat until the stock has almost cooked in. Then pour the rest of the stock cooked on the bones into the pot, and let it simmer steadily uncovered until the meat is tender.
Skim and strain
Skim and strain the stock. Remove all the fat.
Clarify or thicken the bouillon
The bouillon can be clarified to a clear bouillon, or thickened: melt 50 g butter, stir in 50 g wheat flour, thin with 2 liters of stock and cook the soup well through. Season with 2 dl madeira, salt and a pinch of cayenne.
Serving
Serve egg dumplings or small choux puffs in the soup.
Quantities are given in modern units (deciliters instead of "del."), and the ingredients without stated amounts (bones, meat, soup bunch/roots) are listed without quantities. The method is divided into numbered steps. A pinch of cayenne is given as a pinch.
