Note

Ensure gizzards are pre-cooked and finely chopped before adding to the dough to ensure even distribution and proper texture.

If using giblet broth instead of water, ensure it is cooled to prevent the egg from scrambling.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven to maintain crispness.

For a richer flavor, substitute half the water with giblet broth from cooking the gizzards.
