7. Mix icing sugar with lemon juice and hot water until you get smooth glaze. Add more sugar if it is too runny or more lemon juice if it is too thick.
8. Glaze the turnovers and let them stand for 15 min for the glaze to set.
9. They are perfect served still warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Enjoy!
