Here's a simple recipe to make for your Downton Abbey viewing: Mrs Crawley's Chocolate Chip Scones. These are easy to make and delicious. They're perfect for Isobel Crawley, a distant relative of the family, who is always slightly uncomfortable with the more luxurious lifestyle of her relatives, to serve, even to the Dowager Duchess.
