Combine flour, 2/3 cup sugar, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk buttermilk, lemon rind, lemon juice, melted butter and egg yolks together and add to dry ingredients, whisking till smooth.
Beat egg whites till foamy, then add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar gradually while beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into buttermilk mixture; then fold in berries.
