For a deeper flavor, toast the cumin seeds in a dry pan for a minute or two before grinding them. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference for spiciness. Store cooled pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Try using different nuts such as walnuts or almonds for a variation. A touch of smoked paprika adds a wonderful depth of flavor. Be careful not to burn the butter while melting it. Keep the heat at medium and stir frequently.
