You can leave out the meringue powder altogether. Butter-cream icing can be made without meringue powder and still it turns out okay. There is a good butter-cream icing recipe on this website: http://www.homestyle-cookie-recipes.com/buttercream-icing-recipe.html.

As a substitue you can whip one egg white with a whisk til soft peaks foam and fold it into your finish product.
