Ingredients
1/2 cup water, plus more if needed
1/4 cup meringue powder
1 pound confectioners' sugar, sifted
Gel-paste food coloring in Soft Pink for lambs (optional) or desired colors for poppies
Preparation
Beat water and meringue powder with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Add sugar, and beat until icingholds a ribbonlike trail on the surface for 5 seconds when beater is raised.
Tint icing with food coloring just before using. (If making poppy-shaped lemon cookies, divide icing before tinting.)
