Combine flour, cornmeal mix, and remaining 2/3 cup sugar in a medium bowl. Stir in butter and milk until blended. Gently spread batter evenly over berry mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 to 45 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center of topping comes out clean. Serve warm. Top with either a whipped topping or vanilla ice cream.
