In another bowl mix the flour, 2/3C. sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives and cut the butter into the flour mixture until it's coarse and crumbly. Add the buttermilk and mix until fully blended and a thick batter forms. Spoon the batter over the berries and using the back of a spoon spread the batter evenly over the top of the berries, don't worry about if you have holes in the batter because it will fill in while baking. Sprinkle the top of the cobbler with some of the cinnamon sugar then bake for about 35 minutes or until golden brown.
