raspberry lemon scones

Perkin has been obsessed with the raspberry scones from a local bakery down the street, Pastries and Petals. They are absolutely delish, but I am guessing not all that healthy. I decided to make something similar for him over the weekend. They turned out pretty darn good! Not exactly the same as the ones from the bakery (sans butter and white flour) but still very yummy! These are low carb, high protein, and gluten free.
