Doubt my 30-something kids have been in a hardware store since I dragged them into one 20 years ago. Your daughter probably didn't know that you get onion rings at hardware stores now.
This is a unique store. It's amish owned and operated and is a full blown hardware store. Lots of good stuff in there. But off to the side it has a room that you wouldn't really notice that's stocked full of groceries with a freezer/fridge section. In typical Amish fashion, they built it to be practical. While the men are shopping for hardware, the women shop for groceries. Prices are good too.
Yawn. Nothing beats a proper batter.
Well, if you want to up the original, use Japanese panko crumbs, but batter is lazy -- just trying to skip a step.
It's not hard, just not worth my time. I already make most things from scratch, but making onion rings isn't one that I do. We were having buffalo wings that night. I had already cut down the fresh wings, hand cut french fries, roasted the wing before frying. I use my own home canned buffalo sauce from a recipe I developed out of peppers I grew myself. I think I'm allowed frozen onion rings.
Seriously. A two component coating is boring. Mine include garlic powder in the batter as well a crumbs, flour, and egg.It's not hard, just not worth my time.

People seem to think that Amish food is bland. It's not, but I suspect the reason some think that is because there's this stupid cook book that's sold claiming to be Amish and Mennonite recipes. While they might be, and if they are, they're written by the women that just make dishes the way their mom made them. They don't always include the seasonings and spices, they're just tossed in because that's how it's done. So you get bland recipes written in these books.
Not two ingredients! You can season the bread crumbs with as many herbs and spices as you like.
If your wife is at the front door yelling to be let in and the dog is at the backdoor barking to be let in, who do you let in first?
what you want them to wag their rear ends and pee on the floor?
