I bought a fairly large pack and had two for breakfast the next morning, what to do with the rest?

Place in a pre-heated oven at 180 C.

After 40 minutes take it out of the oven and stir in the corn flour paste. At this point it’s a good idea to taste the liquid to see if you need to add more seasoning.
