It's got way too many lumps. I've tried using warm milk, and also cold milk (as suggested by Gordon Ramsay). Nothing's working.

HALP.

You need to very very gradually introduce the milk to the roux while whisking briskly as the mixture comes together and thickens. If you add too much milk too quickly you'll get clumps forming and suspending in the liquid as you mix.

Your best bet now would be to strain the sauce through a sieve and blend it. Immersion blender would be great for this.
