Set a large nonstick skillet to medium heat. Melt 1 Tablespoon butter in skillet.
Meanwhile, in a large shallow dish (such as a pie pan), whisk milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Dip both sides of English muffins into mixture, coating thoroughly.
Place English muffins in hot, buttered skillet and cook until golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side. Add additional butter before cooking on opposite side. Remove to a paper towel lined plate and keep warm while cooking remaining muffins.
