Even with parchmented pan, bottoms burned, went cinnamon-sugar route, they have a very "salty" tang to them. (Though that could be the burnt bottoms OR the burned cinnamon)
15-30 seconds in boiling water turned them all slimy & ready to fall apart.
Have another similar recipe that uses like 1-2 cups of cold/room temp water & 1-2tsp (TEASPOONS) of baking soda. Still 15 second bath though
