In another medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt.

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
