  The Recipe:
   
  About 20 minutes before ready to deep-fry, fill a deep saucepan one-half full with
    Vegetable shortening, all-purpose shortening, lard or cooking oil for deep-frying
  Meanwhile, clean and cut into slices 1/2 in. thick.
    3 medium (about 1/2 lb.) onions
  Separate slices into rings and set aside.
Melt and set aside to cool
    1 tablespoon butter or margarine
  Sift together into a bowl and set aside
    1¼ cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon monosodium glutamate
1/8 teaspoon pepper
  Beat until thick and piled softly
    2 eggs
  Blend in
    3/4 cup milk
  Blend in butter or margarine. Make a well in center of dry ingredients; add liquid mixture all at one time. Blend just until smooth.
Dip onion rings in batter with fork or slotted spoon to coat evenly. Deep-fry only as many onion rings at one time as will float uncrowded one layer deep in fat. Fry 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn onion rings with a fork as they rise to surface and several times during cooking. Drain over fat for a few seconds before removing to absorbed paper.

Serve with meats, vegetable plates or as an appetizer.
