Original 1914 recipe
Verbatim from the first edition of the Big Cookbook.

Erken's small soufflés with mushroom (1914): a soufflé cream with stiffly whipped cream baked in small molds about 20 min, served around a stew of mushroom, truffle, sherry, and lemon in a stock sauce, presented in a homemade bordure (decorative dough border) of flour and egg yolks.
Source: Henriette Schønberg Erken, Stor kokebok, 1914-utg. s. 431 (falt i det fri)
A decorated middle course from "Stor kokebok" (1914). The bordure – a dried dough edge fastened to the platter with egg white – shows how much emphasis Erken placed on decorative presentation in party food.
Fill the molds
Whip the cream stiff and fold it into the soufflé forcemeat. Grease small soufflé molds well and fill them with the forcemeat.
Bake the soufflés
Cover the molds with greased paper and bake them in the oven for about 20 minutes.
Make the sauce
Stir together butter and flour, thin with the stock, and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes. Take the pot off the heat and thicken with the egg yolks.
Finish the stew
Add the sherry, lemon juice, mushrooms, and truffles. Heat everything through in the sauce, but do not let it boil.
Arrange
Fill the stew into a silver ring or a dough border and set the small soufflé molds around it.
Dough border
Knead 125 g wheat flour and 5 egg yolks into a firm, smooth dough. Roll it out into a strip about 8 cm wide, long enough to go around the platter. Make an openwork pattern in the upper edge with an iron. Fasten the border to the platter with egg white and flour, and let it dry in an airy room.
Measurements have been converted to modern units (dl, grams, tablespoons) and the method has been numbered. The original assumes a ready-made forcemeat for the soufflé molds without repeating the recipe; this has been kept as in the source but specified in the steps. The oven temperature is estimated.

Note til Modernisert
Mål er omregnet til moderne enheter (dl, gram, spiseskjeer) og fremgangsmåten er nummerert. Originalen forutsetter en ferdig fars til souffléformene uten å gjenta oppskriften; dette er beholdt som i kilden, men presisert i trinnene. Ovnstemperatur er anslått.
