1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
1/4 cup shortening
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
FILLING:
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1-1/2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
2 tablespoons 2% milk
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight., On a floured surface, roll dough to fit a 9-in. pie plate. Trim and flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°. Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights. Bake on a lower oven rack until light golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-6 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven setting to 325°., In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sugars, melted chocolate, milk, flour and vanilla. Gradually whisk in butter. Pour into crust. Cover edge with foil to prevent overbrowning., Bake at 325° until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes. Remove foil. Cool on a wire rack.
