What’s in the Air You Breathe? - Amy Hrdina and Jesse Kroll

Together, nitrogen, oxygen and argon make up 99.93% of our air. So what’s the other .07%? Find out what makes up the air you breathe.

Take a deep breath. In a single intake of air, your lungs swell with roughly 25 sextillion molecules, ranging from days-old compounds, to those formed billions of years in the past. In fact, many of the molecules you’re breathing were likely exhaled by members of ancient civilizations and innumerable humans since. But what exactly are we all breathing? Amy Hrdina and Jesse Kroll investigate.

Recipe: Margarita Cupcakes

CUPCAKE INGREDIENTS

• 1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 1 1/2 c. sugar
• 3 large eggs
• Juice of 3 limes, plus zest of 1 lime
• 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
• 2 c. all-purpose flour
• 3 tbsp. cornstarch
• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 1/2 c. milk (preferably whole or 2%)

FOR THE FROSTING

• 1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 5 c. powdered sugar
• 1/4 c. fresh lime juice
• 1/4 c. tequila
• Coarse salt, for garnish
• Lime zest, for garnish
• Small lime wedges, for garnish

MAKE CUPCAKES

1. Preheat oven to 350° and line two muffin tins with 18 cupcake liners. In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add lime juice and zest and vanilla and mix until combined.
2. In another large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Add half the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating until just combined. Pour in milk and mix until fully incorporated. Add remaining dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full with batter.
3. Bake until slightly golden and a toothpick inserted into center of each cupcake comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cupcakes cool in pans 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

MAKE FROSTING

1. In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter, half of powdered sugar, lime juice, and tequila until light and fluffy. Add remaining powdered sugar and beat until smooth.
2. Pipe frosting onto cooled cupcakes. Garnish with coarse salt, lime zest, and lime wedges and a cut decorative straw before serving.
