1 small onion, cut in half
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Insert the metal blade in a food processor. With the machine running, drop onion into feed tube and process until minced. (Or mince with a sharp knife.)
Melt fat in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté until golden brown. Set aside.
Bring oil and water to a boil in large saucepan over high heat. Remove from heat; add matzo meal and 1 tsp. salt all at once. Mix well with a wooden spoon.
Place the mixture in a food processor (or electric mixer). Add 2 eggs; pulse once or twice. Add remaining 2 eggs and onion. Pulse until well mixed. Remove to a mixing bowl. (Dough can be covered and refrigerated overnight, then baked the next morning.)
Dipping your hands in a bowl of cold water, shape the dough into 2" rolls and place about 2" apart on a greased cookie sheet. Dough will be very sticky. If desired, combine optional egg and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt in a small bowl; brush on the tops of rolls.
Bake at 350°F for 50 to 60 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for several minutes before removing from the baking sheet.
