Preheat oven to 425�.
In large bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine milk, egg and lemon peel; mix well.
Add milk mixture to dry ingredients, mixing with fork just until dry ingredients are moist and a soft dough forms. Gently stir in raspberries. Gather dough into a ball and gently knead on lightly floured surface 8 to 10 times.
