Scone Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees; lightly grease a cookie sheet. In a large bowl, combine the flour, parsley, sugar, thyme, baking powder, rosemary and salt. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in the margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk and egg just until moistened. On a floured surface, gently knead the dough 10 times. Place on the cookie sheet; roll or pat the dough into a 6-inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges; separate slightly. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Cut into wedges; serve warm.
