Does anyone have a buttermilk biscuit recipe for a bread machine?

I can't imagine making biscuits in a bread machine. Those machines are intended for yeast doughs which require kneading. A biscuit uses butter, flour and baking powder which reacts with the acid in buttermilk to make it rise and to make it tender.





P.S. Yeast doughs also use high protein flour in order to develop gluten and make them chewy. Biscuits, like pie doughs, use all-purpose flour which has a mid-range protein level. Cakes need low protein flour to give them lift and keep them tender.Does anyone have a buttermilk biscuit recipe for a bread machine?
If you mix biscuits a lot, they come out tough. The basic mix before the milk is added should be well mixed with a pastry cutter or mashed with a fork. Once the milk is added, quickly and gently mix just until wet and blended. Pat out gently and cut.





The bread machine would make the biscuits tough, and then you'd have to wash the bread machine to boot.
